Overview
A powerful
earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale struck IndonesiaÕs 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 quakeÕs
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 (Friday,
June 2), the official death toll stood at 6,234, with 3,580 deaths in Bantul district
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 from 46,000 to 53,000, of which some 17,955 have been hospitalized.
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 World
Health Organization (WHO), which is supporting IndonesiaÕs Ministry of Health
(MoH), patients are being treated in 48 hospitals, plus field hospitals, health
centers, and mobile clinics. MoH
has opened another 20 mobile clinics.
Some 9,000 hospital beds are serving 19,000 to 20,000 inpatients and more
than 34,000 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.
IndonesiaÕs 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 United Nations today (Friday, June
2) launched a US$103 million Emergency Response Action Plan for the
earthquake-affected areas to cover the immediate needs for the next six months. According to the UNÕs Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), half of the funds should go toward
housing. 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.
