On August 15, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake and tsunami struck Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, causing the deaths of at least 135 people, injuring 1,723 others, and damaging approximately 98,900 homes.
In response to this disaster, UMCOR has awarded a solidarity grant to ACT Alliance member, YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU). The grant will support YEU’s response efforts in Manggarai and East Manggarai, including the distribution of food assistance and water in the affected communities, and will strengthen locally led response efforts that are addressing ongoing humanitarian needs.
