STORYLINE:

Authorities in Indonesia said on Monday that they will not rebuild in areas in central Sulawesi province that were hit by the phenomenon known as liquefaction.

Hundreds died and many more are still missing after the violent and prolonged shaking of the recent earthquake turned soft ground into liquid mud that sucked down buildings and left villages as wasteland.

"It is impossible for us to rebuild there," said the head of the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, Willem Rampangilei, during a news conference in Jakarta.

"We will relocate them. It is our masterplan for Palu and Sigi. So we will not rebuild anymore in the areas prone to disaster."

In the Balaroa district of Palu, recovery teams continued to retrieve bodies from the wreckage of buildings and from deep, hard-baked mud.

One woman, Yunita, said she had given up hope of finding her missing mother alive, but wanted to retrieve her body.

The confirmed death toll from the devastating earthquake and tsunami on Indonesia's Sulawesi island neared 2,000 on Monday.

But thousands more are believed unaccounted for and officials said search teams plan to stop looking for victims later this week.
