The death toll from the tsunami around Indonesia's Sunda Strait is likely to rise even further, the country's national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho says.
The latest official update says 222 people have been killed.
"This number is predicted to increase because not all victims have been successfully evacuated, not all health centres have reported victims and not all locations have got complete data," Mr Nugroho says.

Aulia Arriani is with the Indonesian Red Cross in Jakarta. She told the BBC about the latest news from Red Cross teams in the disaster area.
"Right now our volunteers are on the ground since last night and they are helping in two provinces, Banten and also Lampung.
"In Banten they are working together with search-and-rescue teams. Right now the people need drinking water and then also tarpaulins and they really also need medical help."
The death toll from the tsunami in Indonesia has risen to 222, according to Indonesia's disaster agency. Some 843 others have been injured and 28 are missing.
Pak SD Darmono, chairman of the Jababeka Group - which owns a resort struck by the tsunami - described the effects as "really devastating".
He said so far 90 corpses had been found and "every minute more dead bodies are coming to our place".
He added that 500 people had been staying at the hotel and many were still missing.
The tsunami hit coastal towns around the Sunda Strait.
Deaths have been reported in Pandeglang and Serang, on Java's western tip. These are said to be some of the hardest-hit areas.
Dozens of people were reported dead in Lampung, in southern Sumatra.
Seventeen, a popular Indonesian rock band, was performing in the Tanjung Lesung beach resort when a large wave crashed, destroying the stage and taking members of the band with it.
In a tearful Instagram video, singer Riefian Fajarsyah, said the band's bassist and road manager had died, and that three other band members and his own wife were missing.
In another post, external, he shared a picture of him with his wife in Paris saying: "Today is your birthday... Hurry home."

In some areas hit by the tsunami, emergency teams are still looking for survivors under the rubble, and at least 30 people are missing, according to Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, national spokesman at Indonesia's disaster agency.
Officials warn the numbers could rise as teams have not yet reached some areas.
Volcanologist Jess Phoenix has argued on Twitter that the shutdown of the US government has prevented researchers from finding out what caused the earthquake.
She tweeted that if it wasn't for the shutdown "we'd have access to excellent US Geological Society data and a much better understanding of the Krakatau eruption and tsunami."
'Volcano tsunami' hits Indonesia
Here's the latest on the deadly tsunami that hit coastal towns around Indonesia's Sunda Strait:
Adam Switzer, a tsunami expert from the Earth Observatory of Singapore, told BBC News it was likely the tsunami was caused by a landslide.
“Most volcanoes have very steep sides and it is quite common for those flanks to collapse,” he said.
He added that these landslides can go unnoticed: “There is no explosion, it [the landslide] would just slip in the ocean, generate the wave and the wave would arrive within minutes at the coast.”
He said modelling such landslides was “a complicated process”, adding there was “a long way to go” before a tsunami warning system could be in place.

Emergency teams in Banten province on Java trying to find survivors still don't have adequate equipment, according to a local official.
Quote MessageNow we are still doing search operations because there is a possibility that there are still victims under the rubble. We have deployed from all agencies so we can find them. All the heavy equipment has not yet arrived. We really need that equipment to handle this. According to our reports, the equipment is on the way.

Officials are investigating whether the tsunami was triggered by undersea landslides after the eruption of Anak Krakatau, a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait.
In August 1883, its predecessor - Krakatoa - underwent one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in recorded history, triggering massive tsunamis that killed more than 30,000 people and destroyed dozens of coastal villages in both Java and Sumatra.
Thousands more were killed by hot ash, and the volcanic island virtually disappeared. The eruption even changed the colour of sunsets around the world, according to a report by Atlantic magazine, external.
The eruptions, heard thousands of kilometres away, were equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT, or about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
The waves, which reached 135ft (41m) in nearby areas, were felt across the globe, including parts of South Africa, England and the US.
World temperatures dropped by more than 1C the following year.
Anak Krakatau translates to "Child of Krakatoa" and was formed over years following the 1883 eruption.

The BBC's Rebecca Henschke is in Anyer, on Java, one of the areas hit by the tsunami.
She says some local health care centres are struggling to deal with the injured and some people are being taken to larger nearby hospitals.
Residents said there was no warning a tsunami was going to hit.

Damaged roads are hampering access to some of the areas hit by the tsunami, according to Kathy Mueller, from the Red Cross, which is helping the rescue operations.
"The situation is very fluid. It's changing not just by the hour but by the minute as teams get access to the affected areas. We do understand that the main road into Pandeglang [on the island of Java] is also badly damaged. So that's affecting access," she told BBC World News.
"As we get into these communities, and they're very very remote communities, we'll be able to get a better understanding and a clearer picture of exactly what happened."
She described what her teams are seeing as they reach the affected areas.
"There is debris littering the ground; there are crushed cars, crushed motorcycles; we're seeing buildings that are collapsed or partially collapsed; walls that have folded in on each other; trees that have been laid down on the ground and of course a lot people injured."
