Indonesian authorities say the death toll from Monday’s earthquake on Java has leapt to 252 as more bodies have been discovered under collapsed buildings. Terrified residents fled into the street, some covered in blood and debris. Many of the dead were public school students who had finished their classes for the day and were taking extra lessons at Islamic schools when they collapsed, West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil said in the remote, rural area. Hospitals were overwhelmed by injured people, and the toll was expected to rise further. No estimates were immediately available because of the area’s far-flung, rural population, but many structures collapsed, and residents and emergency workers braced for grim news. Roughly 175,000 people live in the town of Cianjur, part of a mountainous district of the same name with more than 2.5 million people.
