The real story:


SOLOK, Indonesia (Reuters) - Aid began to flow on Wednesday to survivors of deadly earthquakes in Indonesia's West Sumatra as rescue teams searched frantically for victims who may still be trapped beneath the rubble of collapsed buildings.

The disaster management agency said 72 people were killed by Tuesday's two quakes, which were also felt in neighbouring Singapore and Malaysia, but many more were injured and thousands spent a night in the open, frightened of further tremors.

On Wednesday, thousands of people in West Sumatra province, where the 6.4 magnitude quake and another measuring 6.3 were centred, were camped in tents outside their homes or in open fields.

Schools were closed. Earthquakes are frequent in Indonesia, the world's fourth-most-populous country. Its 17,000 islands sprawl along a belt of intense volcanic and seismic activity, part of what is called the "Pacific Ring of Fire".

A quake in the Indian Ocean off Sumatra island in December 2004 and the tsunami it caused left about 170,000 people dead or missing in northern Aceh province.
In March 2005, an 8.7 magnitude quake killed hundreds on Nias island, off the west coast of northern Sumatra.
