— In response to the Mount Semeru eruption, Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) and Masyarakat
Relawan Indonesia (MRI) opened humanitarian command posts in areas affected by
the disaster in Lumajang, Jember and Malang.
“We opened these
humanitarian command posts to ensure that the aid delivery, storage, and

Tuesday (12/7/2021).

If you wish to
donate, you can deliver to ACT's humanitarian command posts. The assistance
that the evacuees currently need includes meal packages, medical masks, tarpaulins,
sleeping mats, medicines, baby supplies, and sanitary napkins.
"They
urgently need some items, including masks. After the eruption, it’s been too
dangerous for the locals to inhale the air because it’s been filled with
volcanic ash,” explained Lukman.
In the eruption,
22 fatalities have been reported while dozens were seriously injured. The
eruption also damaged 2,970 houses, forcing 5,700 residents to evacuate. []
