Bodies were still being pulled from destroyed buildings following the shallow 6.9-magnitude quake on August 5 that levelled tens of thousands of homes, mosques, and businesses across Lombok.

"Search-and-rescue teams are still removing victims who were buried beneath collapsed buildings and landslides," said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency.

The total number of people killed is now 436, Nugroho said, with more than 1,300 injured and nearly 353,000 internally displaced.

The majority of those killed - 374 people - died in the north of the island, near the quake's epicentre. Most deaths were caused by collapsing buildings and falling debris.

Many people are sleeping in tents near their ruined homes or in evacuation centres. Makeshift medical facilities have been set up to treat the wounded as many hospitals were among those destroyed.

Damage to infrastructure, particularly roads, are frustrating efforts by relief agencies to distribute aid in the north, prompting concerns of a looming humanitarian crisis.

Nugroho said helicopters have been air-dropping supplies to isolated communities, many of which are in urgent need of drinking water, food and medicine.

"It's very much still an emergency response operation," said Rosemarie North from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

"They're still discovering people that haven't been reached with assistance. The focus right now is reaching people in real need," she told Al Jazeera.

The economic cost of the earthquake is estimated to be $342m.

Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because of its location in the Ring of Fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.

In December 2004, a magnitude-9.1 earthquake off Sumatra island triggered a massive tsunami, killing 230,000 people in a dozen countries. </s> A tsunami killed at least 168 people and injured 745 on the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, a spokesperson for the disaster mitigation agency told media on Sunday. </s> More Than 200 Dead, Hundreds More Injured After Tsunami Hits Indonesia

At least 222 people are dead and hundreds more are missing or injured, the AP reports, after a tsunami struck Indonesia late Saturday night local time.

The death toll is expected to rise.

Officials there are blaming the tsunami on underwater landslides caused by volcanic activity on the island of Anak Krakatau, which erupted just after 9 p.m.

Footage shared by news outlets and social media show a wave hitting a seaside concert at a resort on the island of Java, washing away the stage and many people along with it.

The 1883 eruption of nearby Krakatoa killed more than 30,000 people. Anak Krakatau, the "son of Krakatoa," emerged from the spot where the island of Rakata existed before that eruption.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which was triggered by an earthquake, killed about 226,000.
At least 844 people are now known to have died in the Indonesian earthquake and tsunami.
