JAKARTA—The death toll from the earthquake and tsunami on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi jumped to 384 on Sept. 29, authorities said, with many of those killed swept away by giant waves as they played on the beach.

Strong aftershocks continued to rock the coastal city on Saturday morning after waves up to six meters (18 feet) high swept through the scenic tourist town on Friday, triggered by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake on land.
