Quake victims afraid to go home

JAKARTA: Hundreds of villagers from Sampora and Caracas in the
regency of Kuningan slept in the open over the weekend amid fears
of more aftershocks following last Friday's earthquake which
measured 4.8 on the Richter scale.

No casualties were reported but people chose to pitch make-
shift tents rather than return home. Others left the villages to
live with relatives or friends.

On Saturday, residents began the clean-up in Caracas, where
three houses were destroyed and 12 others damaged.

Kuningan regent Arifin Setiamiharja promised cement to help
the people rebuild. - JP
