Food Package for Earthquake Victims in Maluku

By Mohamad Faisol Amrullah | Project Leader

ACT Foundation have been received fund from GlobalGiving donors about the Earthquake in Ambon, Maluku, Indonesiawith magnitude of 6.5 shook Ambon City and it’s surrounding areas on Thursday, 9/26/2019 at 06.46 AM West Indonesian Time, leaving trauma for Maluku residents.

The aftershocks occurred again in succession on 10/10/2019 which was quite large and claimed lives, namely 5.2 on the Richter Scale (RS) at 14:39 WIB. The earthquake shock caused thousands of houses to be damaged, roads were split, and dozens of other buildings collapsed. The number of aftershocks that continue to occur every day makes residents not only panicked and scattered from their homes when the earthquake occurred, but some residents took some of their property by riding a motorcycle and went to the refugee points in Liang Village.

The occurrence of aftershocks made people increasingly worried and chose to evacuate themselves and their families to refugee camps. They set up camps in the hills far from the sea for fear of the coming earthquake and tsunami.

After the earthquake that struck the Maluku region on Thursday (9/26), the refugees are now returning to their normal activities during the day, but at night residents continue to return to the refugee camps for fear of aftershocks. Where the worst affected location was in Liang Village, Salahatu Sub-District, Central Maluku District.

ACT Foundation distributed food packages: cooking oil, tea, biscuits, soy sauce, salt, and salted fish.The assistance is given to disaster affected communities who are in dire need of assistance to survive post-disaster.

Support from GlobalGiving has helped distribute 76 food packages to the Maluku community affected by the earthquake. The distribution was carried out to the location where evacuated residents were affected by the earthquake in Maluku for one day at the evacuation site in Waiosa Hamlet, Liang Village, Salahutu Sub-District, Central Maluku District, Maluku on Wednesday, January 15th, 2020 ago.

The people affected by the Maluku earthquake admitted that they were greatly helped by the distribution of food packages. The reason is that most of the people who work as plantation farmers (cloves and nutmeg) cannot manage their gardens. They chose to stay in their refugee tents on the hill for fear of a tsunami. The number of aftershocks has made them traumatized.

We kindly thank to donors who continuesly support Indonesian communities.
