NTT Earthquake and Indonesia - Send Emergency Aid

In the midst of this crisis, BAZNAS has mobilized its BAZNAS Disaster Response Team (BTB) together with BAZNAS Health Services to stand alongside affected communities.

Bringing Help Where It Is Needed Most

BAZNAS teams were deployed to NTT shortly after the earthquake. Their first priority was to help search for and evacuate people who might still be trapped in damaged buildings, while simultaneously supporting communities with urgent necessities.

In affected areas, the response includes:

• Emergency food and essential household supplies
• Temporary shelters and sleeping materials
• Hygiene kits
• Community kitchens providing ready-to-eat meals
• Emergency healthcare services
• Support for women and children

A community kitchen has also been established to prepare and distribute meals for people staying in evacuation sites. Local residents and volunteers are involved in the preparation and distribution, helping ensure that food reaches families quickly during this critical period.

Healthcare When Families Need It Most

For families living in temporary shelters, access to healthcare becomes especially important.

In the aftermath of an earthquake, people may face injuries, illness, exhaustion, poor sanitation, and the emotional stress of suddenly losing their homes. That is why BAZNAS has integrated healthcare support into its emergency response, deploying Rumah Sehat BAZNAS alongside disaster-response personnel.

This approach is designed not only to respond to immediate injuries, but also to help protect the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people living in evacuation conditions, particularly children, mothers, older people, and families with limited access to essential services.

Your support can help provide food, clean water, hygiene supplies, emergency healthcare, temporary shelter, and other essential assistance for families affected by the earthquake.

Every contribution can help turn compassion into something tangible: a meal for a hungry family, medicine for someone who is unwell, a safe place for a child to sleep, or simply the reassurance that someone cares.
