The latest news i've seen is:
A THREE-metre wave smashed into the Indonesian island of Simeuleu, off the coast of Sumatra, causing extensive damage shortly after a massive earthquake, a military official said today.

According to the Indonesian Government, the quake may have killed up to 2000 people on the island of Nias.

At least 300 people have been confirmed dead in western Indonesia, and there are fears thousands more are trapped in buildings that collapsed on Nias, a renowned surfing haven.

Indonesia's Vice-President Jusuf Kalla said today that the death toll on the island was likely between 1000 and 2000 people.
