The search for survivors from Sunday's ferry disaster in Indonesia continues, with around 200 passengers still missing. The ferry capsized in the east of the country, between Sulawesi and East Kalimantan, when it was hit by a wave in severe weather. The bad weather has gone on for days now and is making the rescue operation almost impossible.
