Jakarta. The tsunami occurred again in
Indonesia. This time it’s sweeping the coastal areas around the sea of Pandeglang,
Serang, Banten Province and South Lampung. This tsunami occurred not as a
result of an earthquake like what happened few time ago in Palu, Central
Sulawesi. But due to the eruption of the Krakatau Mountain in the Sunda Strait
that spewed large materials and pushed the sea causing high waves.
Until this news was revealed, victims
of the tsunami had reached 420 dead, 1041 injured and 55 people were still
declared missing. The number of refugees continues to increase with the high
waves which will continue to occur until the end of 2018 (BMKG statement).
Indonesian
women's unions (SERUNI) as women's mass organizations also took part in helping
and serving victims of the Banten-Lampung tsunami disaster. One of them is by
calling nationally to the organization till the branch level to help raise aid
in the form of medicines and medical personnel recruitment, food especially for
infants and children, baby diapers, blankets, sanitary napkins, decent clothes
for adults and children , formula milk, the need for pregnant and lactating
mothers, and rice for public kitchen needs.
As part of the Indonesia Bangkit (IB)
humanitarian post aid, SERUNI also sent volunteers to the evacuation sites in
Anyer sub-district spread over four points, namely in the villages of Bunihara,
Mancak, Banjar Sari and Sindang Mandi. Until now the number of refugees has
reached 2000 people. In addition to the evacuation of victims, volunteers from
Seruni also took part in conducting social investigations on the situation of
women and children affected by the tsunami and what kind of donations was
specifically needed.
Refugees who are mostly tsunami victims are
women, children, and the elderly while being evacuated to residents' houses,
public facilities, and refugee tents to avoid high waves that often occur in
the area around the coast. Refugees are not only victims of the Banten tsunami,
but also people who lived around the coast, the majority of fishermen who are no
longer being able to carry out their daily activities for livelihood.
Efforts to evacuate victims continue to be
carried out by Indonesian volunteers rising from various elements of society
and national democratic mass organizations, including Seruni. In addition, the
Indonesia Bangkit Post aid which was centered on Jalan Mutiara Raya No. 1 kelurahan
Jati, kecamatan Pulogadung, East Jakarta also established a public kitchen in
an effort to serve the needs of tsunami-affected refugees.
In order to reach closer to the victims of
natural disasters, Indonesia Bangkit also open a main service post aid at
