At least 20 people have died and several more have been injured after shops and houses collapsed in the Indonesian province of Aceh after a 6.5 magnitude earthquake struck at 5am (9am AEDT) on Wednesday.
"The earthquake was felt strongly and many people panicked and rushed outdoors as houses collapsed," Sutopo Nugroho of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said in a statement.
The BNPB tweeted images of people being treated for injuries in the Aceh regency of Pidie Jaya. Several people were trapped alive inside buildings and were being evacuated using heavy machinery according to the head of Aceh Indonesia Red Cross, Rudianto, who is known by only one name.

Rudianto told Fairfax Media tens of people had been injured but the exact figure was as yet unknown. He said the focus was on evacuating people from collapsed buildings, where it was assumed there would be further people found dead as well as those trapped alive.
