Close to the epicentre in Sumatra

Thousands of people in remote parts of Sumatra, in Indonesia, are feared to have died following last week's earthquake.

Some of the villages, close to the epicentre, were completely destroyed in landslides, with access roads torn apart.

The BBC's Alastair Leithead travelled by foot to reach one of the remote villages.
