– Some of the victims of the Banten earthquake in Pandeglang Regency are
still staying at the homes of their relatives. Sukma Jayalaksana from the Aksi
Cepat Tanggap (ACT) Banten Branch’s Emergency Response Team said that at night,
residents living near the cost flee to higher places at night and return to
their homes during the day.
“Their houses are
actually quite significantly damaged. They come back only to check the
condition of their houses. They are worried that a tsunami will occur,” said
Sukma, Monday (1/17/2022).
Sukma continued,
residents who are far from the coast choose to stay in their respective houses
even though some of these houses have lost their roofs.
Based on ACT’s
observation, in addition to the emergency assistance, the earthquake victims in
Banten also need adequate housing. He hoped that the community and the donors
will jointly work together to repair the houses of the victims of the
Banten earthquake.
Previously, ACT
Banten Branch has distributed food aid and school supplies to earthquake
victims in Tunggal Jaya Village, Sumur District, Pandeglang Regency, on Sunday
(1/16/2022).[]
