Rescue personnel disclosed on Friday that at least 13 bodies were recovered including a seven-year-old Indonesian girl who was the focus of a day-long rescue operation after an earthquake in West Java killed hundreds of people on Monday.

The body of the 7-year-old girl, Ashika Nur Fauziah, popularly known as Cika, was discovered under debris in the worst-hit area of Cianjur town.

Cianjur town was the epicentre of the earthquake that caused landslides, collapsed walls and roofs, and buried people in mounds of earth.

Before the head of the national search and rescue agency, Henri Alfiandi announced that 13 bodies were recovered on Friday, authorities had said that 39 people were still missing, as hammering rain and potentially deadly aftershocks hampered the rescue effort.

Alfiandi stated that the emergency period for the search and rescue mission would run a week until Monday and that officials would determine whether it needed to be prolonged if all the missing persons were still unaccounted for.

According to officials, many of those killed in the earthquake were children, some of whom were in schools.
