Aid agencies 'need more' to help quake victims
UN agencies, governments and aid organisations rushed emergency supplies to Indonesia today to lay the groundwork for a coordinated humanitarian response to this weekend’s deadly earthquake as the death toll hit 5,000.
The UN children’s fund said a first emergency airlift arrived early today, bringing water tanks, tents and tarpaulins to the ancient city of Yogyakarta, devastated by the magnitude-6.3 quake that hit central Indonesia’s densely populated Java island on Saturday.
