People queue for petrol in Padang, on Indonesia's Sumatra island October 1, 2009. Clean water as well as food and shelter are urgently needed by people in the city of Padang and the surrounding region on the island of Sumatra, where the earthquake struck. The death toll has reached 529 people, with hundreds more feared trapped in collapsed buildings. Petrol had run out at many stations or else could not be pumped because the power was down.
