Indonesia's vice president toured the tsunami-hit city of Palu on Friday, after criticism the government has responded too slowly to those who need aid. Our correspondent Tony Cheng visited a village only a few kilometres from where the vice president's helicopter was parked. He found that while the community is neither difficult to access nor remote, they have received nothing since the earthquake.

One week after the Tsunami and the tears continue to flow. Heading into the hills above Palu where tens of thousands are still hiding. This is the community of Labuan, the fields full of tents. Hartono and his family lived down on the coast, but they don't dare go home until the aftershocks stop. Now they're existing on bananas, coconut and a little rice.

HARTONO TEACHER "We need aid, we need everything, food, blankets and medicine."

And these are the lucky ones. Uliyati leads us to her aunt's tent. Nasaria died on Friday morning after succumbing to her injuries.

ULIYATI NIECE "She was washing and getting dressed when the earthquake happened and a wall fell on her."

Nasaria's family and friends came. But she is ready for death. But it didn't need to be so.

TONY CHENG SULAWESI, INDONESIA "The body is being washed and prepared for burial in the Muslim tradition. The tragedy here is that Nasaria didn't need to die. Her injuries weren't that serious, and with proper medical treatment, she'd still be alive."

The local mosque is packed, the first Friday prayers since the disaster struck. These are acts of God, says the Imam, a reminder to man not to abuse the gift of nature. It seems a bitter lesson, for these people who have lost so much. But life will endure. A little further up the road another tent with tears. But these, from a newborn. Jeski lies exhausted but happy. Her son at her side. His Grandmother Ratni, says they need baby formula, but the little boy appears to be in good health. After a while, the doctor arrives. This is the first medical aid this community has had since the quake. But she can't stay for long. There are many who need help. Meanwhile, Nasaria is wrapped in her shroud. Relatives sob uncontrollably, as her grandson looks on bemused. Nothing could have stopped the quake and Tsunami, but Nasaria's death wasn't an act of God, rather a result of the failure of man.
