A deadly volcanic eruption caused a powerful tsunami on Sunda Strait, devastating the entire island. 16,000 people were displaced and over 150 people went missing
The tsunami hit late at night when most people were asleep and came with no warnings or signs.
The gigantic waves devastated the entire island, destroying homes, communication lines and infrastructure.

The island is in chaos, having suffered more than 130 aftershocks and the terrifying threat of a tsunami. Communication lines are down, power has been lost, and families have been torn apart as buildings, including a mosque in Lading-Lading, have collapsed leaving unknown numbers missing.
The hundreds who have been injured are in urgent need of medical aid, while the 20,000 who have been evacuated are in desperate need of food, water and shelter. The victims are living in terror, too frightened to return home, not knowing what might happen next.
With your generous donations, we have been able to provide food, healthcare and clean water to whole communities in need in Indonesia, particularly in an area north of Palu, where 85% of homes were destroyed and infrastructure was critically damaged by the recent earthquakes and tsunami.
Many of the families that we supported were sleeping in fields under tarpaulin because their homes had been destroyed by the earthquake. There were also reports of skin rashes and diarrhoea from dirty water, which can be fatal if left untreated.
Your donations are already making a real difference
