  "summary": "A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Indonesia on Saturday, resulting in at least 47 deaths. According to the BBC News, the quake hit the island of Flores shortly before 05:00 local time and had a depth of 15km. The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) reported that hundreds of buildings were severely damaged by the quake and dozens of aftershocks.\n\nThe BNPB stated that the Manggarai province was among the most affected areas, with 24 fatalities recorded there. Other affected provinces include East Manggarai, Sikka, Ngada, Ende, and West Manggarai, with a total of at least 47 deaths reported. At least two people were seriously injured and 11 slightly injured.\n\nRescue teams have been searching for survivors, and aid is being sent to the affected areas, with 10,500 packages arriving at the base operations so far. The full scale of the disaster is still unclear, and the region's remote and mountainous terrain is making it difficult to assess the extent of the destruction. CBS News reported that authorities warned the death toll is likely to rise.",
