Overview

A powerful earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale struck Indonesia’s Yogyakarta and Central Java provinces on the island of Java on May 27 at 5:53 AM local time (Friday, May 26 at 22:53 UTC), killing thousands of people and causing widespread loss to infrastructure and property. According to the USGS (US Geological Survey), the quake’s epicenter was 10 miles (15 kilometers) south of Yogyakarta at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers). The districts of Bantul, Klaten, Sleman and the city of Yogyakarta are among the worst affected in terms of loss of life. As of today (Thursday, June 1), the official death toll has climbed to 6,234, with 3,580 deaths in Bantul alone. The death tolls of the districts of Klaten, Sleman and Yogyakarta city are 1,668, 326 and 165 deaths respectively. The number of those injured range 46,000-53,000, of which some 7,519 have been seriously injured. Hospitals remain overcrowded, however, the provincial government in Yogyakarta has advised that four field hospitals deployed by Qatar, Singapore, US and China were sufficient. All others have been advised to stand down. According to WHO, which is supporting Indonesia’s Ministry of Health (MoH), patients are being treated in 31 hospitals, field hospitals, health centers, and mobile clinics. Some 9,000 hospital beds are serving 19,000 to 20,000 inpatients and up to 30,000 outpatients. There is no need for medical staff in addition to what is already on the ground and in the process of arriving. There is no need for international Urban Search and Rescue teams as well. Indonesia’s Department of Social Affairs (DEPSOS) now estimates that 67,505 houses have been completely destroyed and another 72,113 seriously damaged, leaving some 200,000-600,000 displaced or homeless. The estimates for displaced people are still being assessed. Family tents are needed to accommodate the homeless. Downed electric and telephone services have been partially restored. Adi Sucipto Airport in Yogyakarta has now reopened only for humanitarian flights and should help alleviate congestion at Solo airport, which until Sunday (May 28) had been the only airport near Yogyakarta that was open for relief flights. Intermittent rains that are expected to continue at least through Friday (June 2) are a cause of concern for health professionals who fear it might cause health problems among survivors, many of whom lack proper shelter and water and sanitation. The Indonesian government has declared a state of emergency and has allocated US$8 million (75 billion Rupiah) for emergency relief. The government has earmarked US$107 million (one trillion Rupiah) for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the affected areas, which is to be completed within a year. National Development Planning Agency Republic of Indonesia (BAPPENAS) is leading a damage and loss assessment effort and has requested technical assistance from the UN and the World Bank. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reportedly moved his office to Yogyakarta to monitor relief efforts on the ground closely. The Indonesian government has not formally issued a call for international assistance, however, it is welcoming international assistance. According to media reports, some GOI officials have hinted that unlike in Aceh, no special agency for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the quake-affected areas would be established.

Both domestic and international relief supplies have begun to arrive in the affected area. Antibiotics, food, water, blankets and tents are the most urgent needs. MoH says Klaten is facing a shortage of medical personnel, medicines and other medical supplies and equipment. MoH plans to open four more field hospitals to increase capacity. Paramedics and orthopedic staff are urgently needed. Tents, latrines, clean water, minor surgical instruments are needed in Bantul. BAKORNAS is coordinating international relief assistance at the country level, while the provincial-level Disaster Management Board (SATKORLAK) is working at the provincial level. A 7-member United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team is divided into 3 sub-teams under the leadership of Rajan Gengaje. The UN plans to develop an Emergency Response Action Plan for the earthquake-affected area in the upcoming days after completing its main needs assessment. More than 50 international and indigenous relief NGOS are also on the ground. At least 22 governments have responded with financial assistance, in-kind material assistance and relief personnel. Charlie Higgins, UN team leader in Yogyakarta, is saying that Indonesian government should be able to handle the Java aid situation without the UN taking a lead role.
