Displaced residents starve

SERANG, West Java: Residents of Tersana village in the Kaseman
sub-district, whose houses were recently flattened in a major
wind storm, are running out of food stuffs, Antara reported on
Saturday.

"Most villagers here are farmers with a daily income of Rp
2,500 ($1.1), just enough to survive for the day," some victims
said.

The whirlwind that swept through the isolated village on
Friday caused no fatalities, although some people were injured.
It flattened four houses, seriously damaged four others and
slightly damaged a dozen buildings.

The Serang administration has committed to send in food relief
to the victims.(imn)
