JAKARTA, Indonesia—A strong, shallow earthquake toppled buildings and collapsed walls on Indonesia’s densely populated main island of Java on Monday, killing at least 56 and injuring hundreds as people rushed into the streets, some covered in blood and white debris.
Emergency workers were treating the injured on stretchers outside main hospitals, on terraces, and in parking lots. Many included children, some of whom were given oxygen masks, IV lines and were being resuscitated.
