What is happening now
Today's news broadcast from Indonesia via SBS television, reported on the situation in the villages around Klaten - the city north of Yogyakarta.
This is the area described by Sari in her reports about work of Klinik Kerabat Kota Yogyakarta (Klinik KKY) in villages including Kragilan, Brangkal, Bijak and Cendol.
Emergency medical aid to treat injuries is now being supplanted by treatment of illnesses such as diarrhea, dysentery and respiratory disorders, caused by overcrowding, uncertain supply of clean water, food and shelter.
At this stage it is vital that assistance offered from inside and outside Indonesia be coordinated to achieve maximum effect. The work of Klinik KKY enables it to identify the most pressing needs of many isolated and disadvantaged communities so that help can be provided most efficiently, utilizing the best resources available.
In these villages in the Klaten area Klinik KKY is working with SGN to provide the kind of material and psychological support so necessary for rebuilding devastated lives. SGN has already cleared debris in two of the villages and set up community centres where Klinik KKY is able to hold regular clinics, where food can be prepared, where people can meet, and where activities can be organised for children. Already, in these 2 centres, 200 children (their schools destroyed) are being helped as well as being taught practical health and hygiene.
Your donations will help sustain people who have suddenly had their homes destroyed, their lives uprooted. Many are poor village people. Your donations will help these communities to survive and begin the hard work of rebuilding their lives.
