Residents of Palu in Indonesia have experienced a rude awakening.
This was after a 5. 2 magnitude tremor struck the city.
Volunteers travelling with NGO, Gift of the Givers, described to Eyewitness News how they woke up to urgently evacuate their rooms and tents and run for safety.
This tremor comes after a 7. 5 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck Sulawesi Island 10 days ago killing around 1, 700 people.
The 5. 2 magnitude tremor came as a climax after three mild aftershocks in the early hours.
Volunteer Graeme Holmquist says he just saw everyone rushing out of their rooms.
Another Malaysian volunteer, Nur - Hafiza Pakhurdin, who is travelling with her NGO KKB, says all she could think about in that moment was her family
Despite feeling a rush of fear during the few seconds of the tremor, the team is now even more determined to help those affected.
