In Indonesia at least 162 people were killed and 700 more injured after a magnitude 5.6 earthquake struck the Indonesian city of Cianjur on the island of Java.
The ongoing floods in the region since has caused life to be difficult for the locals living there and trying to resume normal life.
Indonesia has been home to ongoing Tsunamis and earthquakes which has been accelerated over the last few years with the increasingly changing climate conditions. The conditions in these areas have worsened due to the rainy season and the decline of aid arriving at this region.
Majlis Al Falah Trust has carried out food, tent, and post-earthquake aid packs for the communities there which is being distributed in February 2023. There are many diseases spreading due to the events in 2022.

In the past we created 200 permanent sheltered accommodations for the people affected by the Tsunami and the earthquakes which started in 2018 and came again throughout the year in Palua and other affected regions in Indonesia.
This affected the poor people of Indonesia and after initial inspection visits we decided to help by providing aid and build sheltered accommodation on land provided by the government of Indonesia.
Indonesia is a hotbed for natural disasters and we have always supported Indonesia through its Tsunami, Floods and Earthquakes that its population suffers from on an annual basis.
Just as we were preparing to support Indonesia in Feb 2023 for the recent floods in Oct/Nov 2022 where over 30,000 people were affected due to over 200 floods, we received another request for help. This was due to Mount Merapi volcano erupting March 2023 and this has meant that villages have been covered with ash, mining, tourism and agriculture industries have all been affected and this has affected peoples livelihoods.
