The death toll from a devastating earthquake that hit Indonesia's Lombok island has risen to 460, while the damage is expected to exceed $A693 million, the country's disaster management agency says.
Nearly 7800 people were injured and more than 417,000 have been displaced since the August 5 quake, agency spokesman Sutopo Nugroho said.
"The displaced people need assistance as the distribution of aid has not been smooth, or even," he said.
"We expect them to be in makeshift camps for some time as they await the rebuilding of their homes."
Nugroho said economic losses were estimated at 7.45 trillion rupiah, but the amount was expected to increase as assessment of the disaster impact was still going on.
"The destruction presents us with an opportunity to build better," he said.
The August 5 earthquake struck a week after a slightly weaker quake caused 20 deaths on Lombok.
