Foreign tourists saved by Indonesian joint rescue team came from Thailand, France, Spain, Switzerland, the United States, Britain, China, Singapore, Canada, Australia, Germany and several Middle East countries.

Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said there were 203 aftershocks throughout July 29, following the natural disaster.

Among the dead are one Malaysian, with six injured, the Malaysian foreign ministry said.

There have been more than 270 aftershocks after the initial powerful quake.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo visited affected areas on Monday and promised financial support for those who have lost their homes.

Earthquakes are common in Indonesia, which is located on the seismically active "Ring of Fire" on the rim of the Pacific Ocean. In 2004, a 9.1-magnitude natural disaster near Sumatra prompted a tsunami and led to more than 230,000 deaths.
