Rescue teams continued their search for survivors trapped in the rubble of Roa Roa Hotel in Palu, which crumbled to the ground during the 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on September 28.
In the video, workers walking among the rubble can be seen with a rescue dog in tow. A body bag is removed towards the end of the clip.
About 50 people were believed to have been in the eight-story building when the disaster struck. Only three people have been pulled out alive, and nine bodies recovered.
The current death toll stands at around 1,300, and authorities expect the number to rise as rescue efforts continue on.
