Rescuers are continuing their search for survivors in Indonesia's Aceh province a day after a powerful quake struck the area killing 97 people, the BBC reported Thursday.

The magnitude 6.5 tremor damaged or toppled more than two hundred buildings, and many are still feared to be trapped under rubble in Pidie Jaya.

Thousands of people who lost their homes are taking refuge in shelters.

In 2004, a huge undersea quake off the coast of Aceh caused a tsunami that killed more than 160,000 in Indonesia.

There was no tsunami after Wednesday's tremor, which the US Geological Survey said struck just offshore early in the morning at a depth of 8km (5 miles).

President Joko Widodo, who is currently in Bali, has told reporters he will visit Aceh soon but has not given a date yet.
