Indonesian Earthquake Relief
Emergency Relief
A strong earthquake which measured from 5.9 to 6.2 on the Richter scale rocked Yogyakarta, Indonesia and its surrounding areas in May 2006.
Zakat Foundation and its partner PKPU constructed an operational post for humanitarian service in Bantul to evacuate victims trapped under rubble of buildings and distribute medicines, hot foods, tents and medical services.
The rescue team was sent from Jakarta to Yogyakarta to help victims to evacuate and to distribute aid. The direct aid contained emergency tents, clothes, food packages and a medical team consisting of two pairs of doctors and nurses. In December of 2004 a tsunami devastated Indonesia, killing around 200,000 people and much of Indonesia has not yet recovered from this disaster.
