Palu is a chartered city (kota) on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, northeast of Jakarta, at the mouth of the Palu River. It is the capital of the province of Central Sulawesi on a long, narrow bay. Because of its sheltered position between mountain ridges, the climate is unusually dry. At the 2010 census Palu had a population of around 336,300, not including those living in neighbouring regencies. On September 28, 2018, the city suffered a large number of casualties due to a tsunami, where over a thousand people lost their lives within two days. - Source: Wikipedia
