A five-year-old boy has been pulled alive from the rubble more than 12 hours after a tsunami hit Indonesian islands on Saturday evening.
More than 222 people were killed and 800 injured after an infamous volcano, known as the 'Child of Krakatoa' erupted and caused a 20ft wave to batter the beaches around the Sunda Strait.
The wave hit between the islands of Java and Sumatra at about 9.30pm local time, destroying 500 houses, nine hotels, 60 food stalls and 350 boats.
A huge search and rescue operation was launched on Sunday morning to find survivors and move the dead.
Among those who miraculously survived was a boy named Ali.
Police revealed on social media how they pulled him from a car which had been trapped under fallen trees.
A police officer revealed on Instagram how the boy's cries were heard.

Officers rushed to the scene to carefully remove wood and other island debris from the car.
Shining a torch into the wreckage they were able to make out little Ali's face.
Eventually, in the heartbreaking video, he was pulled alive crying as he clings onto the officer who saved him.
Stunned crowds take pictures of little Ali and the officer as he emerges muddy and upset, but safe.
It is not clear whether anyone else in the car with Ali lived.
Jaw dropping footage of the exact moment the 20ft wave came crashing down on the stage, engulfing the band, emerged on Sunday morning as it was revealed 220 are dead.
A video which was being recorded in the seconds before the wave hit showed families enjoying a performance by Seventeen when suddenly the entire stage is smashed to pieces by the wave.
The band's lead singer Riefian 'Ifan' Fajarsyah told his 300,000 followers in a tearful video he was looking for the rest of the band.
The group later released a statement saying their bass player, guitarist and road manager were found dead, while two other band members and the wife of one of the performers remained missing.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
