STORYLINE:
Torrential rains on Sunday held up aid delivery to the remote hills of western Indonesia where several villages were wiped out after Wednesday's 7.6 earthquake triggered deadly landslides.
Around 644 people are believed to have been buried alive when quake shook loose entire hillsides, sending a cascade of mud, rocks and trees through Jumanak, Pulau Aiya, Lubuk Lawe and Limo Koto Timur villages.
Authorities warned there was little hope of finding survivors buried in the mud and rubble.
Many residents in the remote villages were unable to return to their homes as roads had become impassable.
Volunteers continued to search through the rain and mud for bodies buried beneath.
Budiyar Effendy, a 27-year old survivor from Jumanak village, said he had just returned from work on Wednesday when the quake hit.
"I felt the earth moving and I heard loud noises from the landslide. Then I ran away," he said.
Effendy managed to rescue his younger brother, but his parents were not home at the time.
"I still feel uneasy about it and traumatised from seeing things like this," he said looking around at debris from his destroyed family home.
Around 200 to 300 people were killed in Jumanak village, where they were attending wedding celebrations at a restaurant when the earthquake and landslides struck.
The guests were apparently killed when they ran outside as the ground began to tremble but were swept away by the landslide 40 yards (metres) away.
The restaurant itself remains largely in tact.
On Sunday hordes of aid workers, military personnel, police and volunteers finally reached the villages, bringing with them heavy earth moving equipment.
The workers relieved villagers who had been digging for the rotting corpses with bare hands while surrounded by the stench of death.
But by early afternoon a heavy downpour lashed the area, raising fears of fresh landslides.
Police ordered all residents, aid workers, journalists and volunteers to leave.
