        "content": "<p>The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) has recorded 111\nfatalities from the earthquake in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) as of\nSaturday (29\/8).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe death toll remains at 111 people, and we continue to ask for\nprayers for all those who died as a result of this earthquake, that\ntheir families, relatives and neighbours who have been together with the\ndeceased may be given fortitude,\u201d said Berton SP Panjaitan, Acting Head\nof the BNPB Data, Information and Disaster Communication Centre, during\na press conference held at the BNPB office in Jakarta on Saturday\n(29\/8).<\/p>\n<p>Since the magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck on 15 August, there have\nbeen 9,278 aftershocks to date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBMKG [the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency] has\nrecorded 9,278 aftershocks, with the largest magnitude being 6.2 and the\nsmallest 1, and 153 of them were felt by the public,\u201d said Berton.<\/p>\n<p>Berton then noted a significant increase in the number of displaced\nresidents. The rise is due to continuously incoming data.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy has this increased when two days ago it had decreased? This is\nactually due to a significant data update in Ngada Regency, where the\ndata that had been coming to us was not sufficiently updated or valid,\nso validation was carried out. As a result, we see that in Ngada the\nfigure that was previously only 3,259 people has now become 21,552\ndisplaced people,\u201d said Berton.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Berton added that BNPB received 5 tonnes of aid today,\nwhile aid already dispatched has reached 22 tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQualitatively, the amount of logistics sent is 1,916 tonnes in the\nperiod from 15 to 29 August 2026. We can see that in Labuan Bajo there\nare 1,200 tonnes, in Maumere 598 tonnes, in West Manggarai 12 tonnes,\nManggarai 25 tonnes, East Manggarai 30 tonnes, Ngada 8 tonnes, Nagekeo\n16 tonnes, Ende 16 tonnes, and Sikka 10 tonnes,\u201d said Berton.<\/p>",
