Even now there are occasional aftershocks.

Aftershocks continued to rock the coastal city on Saturday.

Strong aftershocks continue to plague the area and many are trapped in debris in the city of Palu.

A month ago, two massive earthquakes followed by a series of aftershocks occurred in the Indian Ocean and triggered a tsunami, provoking an unprecedented natural disaster.

However, from mid 1997, a great deal has altered the aftershocks of the Asian financial crisis continue to permeate the world economy and reverse former trends.13

More than 10000 victims were living in the collective centers. Some people were worried about the aftershocks and dared not go back home. They preferred to sleep outside.

On 26 December 2004 a massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale struck the west coast of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, followed by numerous and often severe aftershocks.

Some of the injured, including Dwi Haris, who suffered a broken back and shoulder, rested outside Palu's Army Hospital, where patients were being treated outdoors due to continuing strong aftershocks.

The convoluted logic behind this strategy is quite disturbing not only for the US, but also for the global economy. There is nothing cyclical about the lasting aftershocks of a balance sheet recession that have now been evident for nearly five years.

BEIJING Now that the aftershocks from the great Sichuan earthquake appear to have dissipated, it is time to ask what shocks, if any, the earthquake delivered to China s political system. Has the quake given birth to some new, positive political force that will accelerate reform?

It is a pattern that is all too common, and it is one that, sadly, is being repeated in Nepal. More than a week after the earthquake and aftershocks killed more than 7,000 people and devastated the capital, Kathmandu, and despite the mobilization of massive amounts of aid from international agencies, the country s finance minister had yet to receive any of the money promised by foreign countries.
