Indonesian earthquake
We have gone without TV, newspapers, or Internet access for several days, so we only learned about the earthquake in Yogyakarta today. We were there at the beginning of April, and the city was clearly suffering from the downturn in tourism. Our guide at Prambanan hoped that things would improve soon. Instead, things couldn’t have gotten any worse. More than 5,000 dead, Prambanan and the royal palace heavily damaged, and Merapi is still rumbling. Please help if you can: Oxfam is one of many agencies providing emergency relief.
