Victims yet to receive donation

MATARAM: Many of the total 6,000 victims of the recent
earthquake in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, have not received
donations, such as rice, instant noodles and medicine, from the
government.

Provincial social affairs agency head Rustam Ali admitted on
Monday that the contributions from the government had only
distributed to victims in western Lombok.

"We have just distributed half a ton of rice in the area. We
are still calculating the number of victims in the other areas,"
Ali said.

He claimed that the province had allocated 150 tons of rice,
which would be distributed as soon as the calculation of the
total victims was completed.

Besides affecting West Nusa Tenggara, the 6.1 Richter-scale
quake also shook Bali on Friday.-JP
