Salvation Army Today - 2.14.2019 - Salvation Army Continues Recovery Following Indonesia Earthquake
Four months after the 7.5-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami which caused massive damage to Central Sulawesi in Indonesia, The Salvation Army’s Indonesia Territory and its International Emergency Services team continue their humanitarian support to many communities and villages.
Water, sanitation and hygiene items are being distributed in kit form (including mosquito nets) with personal hygiene products for all ages. Over 5,000 families have been helped. Road access to a number of areas is still erratic, due to such devastating damage.
The Salvation Army is providing continued support for rural medical clinics and trauma counselling, which is appreciated by the 26 villages served and more than 3,000 patients treated. The Salvation Army’s Woodward Hospital in Palu continues to serve the local residents and those coming from rural areas.
Many schools – including a number under The Salvation Army’s leadership – now operate out of tents, while plans are finalized to finance the rebuilding of classrooms.
