HIGHLIGHTS

• Water and sanitation issues remain a key challenge for the earthquake-affected population. Although substantial efforts have been undertaken, both by the Government, UNICEF and NGOs, water and sanitation gaps are still significant. • Some form of a more durable transitional shelter is needed to bridge the gap between emergency shelter and permanent housing. The need for and the detail of such an approach is being discussed with GOI, NGOs, and other stakeholders. • A total of 1,890 primary school buildings in Yogyakarta and Provinces have been damaged and need immediate emergency assistance before the new school term starts 17 July. • President plans to visit Bantul and Klaten on 2 July to declare the end of emergency phase and the start of reconstruction phase. • The Earthquake Response Plan revision is being finalised and the document is to be presented to donors in the next days.

In education sector, some 1,600 big tents (6X14 m) are required for temporary schools (elementary and high schools). 7. A total of 115 slightly damaged school buildings are going to be rehabilitated by using the district budget. Additional funding is required to rehabilitate totally destroyed and heavily damaged school buildings. 8. The local government is collecting data on the damage and access to capital of some 76,000 craftsmen in the district. Organizations working in agriculture sector are encouraged to help rebuild the sector by working with 636 farmer groups in the district.

Central Java 9. Local media reports that the government of Central Java will allocate IDR 11.5 billon (USD 1.2 million) for school reconstruction project, with the Ministry of National Education providing IDR 30.8 billion and private sources donating IDR 3.5 billion.

Klaten 10. The Central Java Public Works Department and the Central Java Development Planning Board (BAPEDA) have agreed to develop a community approach strategy in terms of housing reconstruction. 11. Education will be the top priority of the reconstruction phase in Central Java. The Central Java Education Department and Decentralized Basic Education (DBE) – USAID are conducting a rapid assessment on education needs. The assessment is aimed at defining the needs of elementary and junior high students in more than 200 schools in seven sub-districts. The assessment will be completed by Friday, 30 June. 12. The Japan International Cooperation System (JICS) met the Vice Governor of Central Java and offered to help in the development of small pottery industries in Bayat Village, Wedi Sub-district.

The local media reports that thousands of people living in the areas surrounding Mount Merapi are facing a water shortage. This is because of damaged water installations and spring wells in Umbel Bebeng at Kaliadem. The Sleman District local government will continue distributing 14,000 liters of clean water a day. 15. Ash rain from Merapi has also damaged vegetable crops in Klaten causing difficulties for farmers. 16. The second workshop on Inter-Agency Response Planning was held on 28 June. A draft plan will be shared early next week. The principals are IFRC, OXFAM GB, CWS, Plan International, UNICEF and OCHA.

CLUSTER AND SECTOR UPDATE

Health: 17. The World Health Organization reports 76 cases of tetanus, with 26 fatalities. Nine cases of measles have been reported. Four cases are under investigation. The measles immunization campaign has been completed in Yogyakarta and Central Java. There is 76.6% coverage for measles immunization and 45.3% for tetanus toxoid immunization. The number of children needing vaccinations may be less than estimated due to population movement in the area. 18. Three strategies have been developed to handle the tetanus situation: • Locating tetanus cases; • Proper treatment & prophylaxis immunoglobulin; and an • Immunization campaign. 19. According to WHO, acute respiratory infections have tripled this week with 7,000 people seeking treatment at local health services. 20. The Outpatient Mortality and Morbidity daily surveillance system is collecting information on communicable diseases from all actors (MOH, local and international NGOs, and other agencies) involved in health care activities in the six districts affected by the earthquake. 21. Over 12,000 trauma cases in Bantul were seen in health facilities the first week after the earthquake. The rate dropped to an average of 150 per day after the first week. 22. There will be five centres for psychosocial consultation in Yogyakarta and Central Java. These centres are: Sardjito Hospital, Sleman District Hospital, Grhasia Hospital, Magelang Mental Hospital and Klaten Mental Hospital. 23. A rapid assessment of maternal healthcare reported 35 deliveries, with one maternal death. Three births did not receive adequate assistance. UNFPA estimates that at least 270 babies in Bantul and 870 babies in Klaten will be born in the next month. 24. Organizations continue to fill the gaps in the affected areas including: • IFRC: medical care and treatment (focusing on disabled people), wound management and physiotherapy care, general rehabilitation. • AusAID: medical care and treatment with medical teams stationed in Prambanan and Bantul, who are assisted by nursing students.

3 • Malteser: medical care and treatment, neurosurgeon available and stationed in Bethesda Hospital, Yogyakarta. Agencies can refer to Dr. Wang for assessment and further definitive surgical procedures. • Handicap International: medical care and treatment, identification of patients in hospitals and communities in collaboration with various agencies and physiotherapy schools. • YAKKUM: medical care and treatment, emergency response for the victims, caring for over 80 patients with fractures. In coordination with Bethesda Hospital, emergency response services are given to patients with or at risk of permanent disability. • In partnership with the Indonesian Midwifes Association (IBI), UNFPA has mobilized midwives to work on rotation in Yogyakarta, Central Java, Bantul, and Klaten. 25. IOM has returned 4,105 people (1,782 patients and 2,323 accompanying family members) from 14 different hospitals in Yogyakarta, Bantul and Klaten to their home villages. IOM also helped 29 patients return home after follow-up treatments at hospitals. 85 medical referrals have been made from the US Marines, JICA field hospitals, Muhammadiyah hospital in Bantul and the Indonesian Air Force Hospital in Yogyakarta to date. Transportation assistance has been provided to Solo Orthopaedics Hospital in support of its two-day community outreach program from 27 to 28 June. The program aims to assess community needs for post-operational care and rehabilitation services and to provide their former patients with follow-up treatment in the four most affected sub-districts in Klaten. 26. The IFRC will close their field hospital at the end of the month.

Water and Sanitation: 27. Water and sanitation issues remain a key challenge for the earthquake-affected population. Although substantial efforts have been undertaken, both by the government and NGOs, water and sanitation gaps are still significant. In Piyungan sub-district (Bantul district), an increased number of diarrhea cases were reported last week. 28. In Klaten, the district’s Public Works office has deployed five centrifugal pumps that – operated by communities themselves – so far have cleaned 154 wells in five sub-districts. As there is no budget for this activity, pumps were not moved from one village to other villages quickly and the quality of work could not be monitored. PMI (Indonesian Red Cross) and Public Works are planning to collaborate in cleaning wells using six new pumps provided by the Central Government. The PU office in Klaten has also constructed a total of 40 latrines and washing/ bathing facilities. 29. The Provincial Public Works Yogyakarta entered in a contract with a firm for well cleaning. 74 wells have been rehabilitated thus far. The Province of Yogyakarta (DIY) government also constructed 292 emergency toilets/ bath rooms in the five affected districts. 30. Water trucking is still continuing in both DIY and Klaten district in partnership between the government and UNICEF. In DIY the government has established 193 public hydrants for this purpose, while in Klaten the number of public hydrants has been reduced to 68 (down from 72) as demand diminishes and more original sources become functional: about 200,000 liters of water were trucked on

4 24 June versus 344,000 litres on 12 June. The graph below shows the trends over time.

31. Responses from aid organizatons include:

• Islamic Relief has undertaken a major hygiene promotion campaign in Jetis sub district, reaching out with hygiene messages to 14,309 people along with provision of hygiene kits to 4,384 households. • Aisyiyah – in partnership with UNICEF – is also working on hygiene promotion, so far reaching out to 1,400 households with hygiene kits, jerry cans and hygiene information. • John Hopkins University, in partnership with UNICEF, has started developing hygiene messages/ materials. • BORDA/ LPTP are focusing on provision of sanitation facilities and has so far completed 12 communal toilets as well as sanitation facilities in one school. • Oxfam is trucking over 650 m3 of water, reaching over 5,000 people each day in Patuk sub-district in Gunung Kidul, and has also completed 48 toilets and seven bathrooms. • Action Contre la Faim has cleaned/ repaired 82 wells, constructed 31 toilets and nine bathrooms, and distributed 13,251 jerry cans. • PLAN International is focusing on school sanitation and has completed 33 toilets in ten schools, in addition to distribution of 999 hygiene kits. • YDD/ UNICEF have completed construction of 122 latrine blocks; each block comprises five toilets and five bathrooms, for a total of 610 toilets that can serve about 12,200 people. • YKY/UNICEF finished 35 facilities, providing a total of 62 toilets and 45 bathrooms/ washrooms, benefiting about 1,240 people. • UNICEF supported construction of additional emergency toilets in three Merapi affected camps sites in Cangkringan has been completed: YKMI constructed 17 latrines and eight bathrooms in Umbulharjo and 41 latrines and 17 bathrooms in Kepuharjo; Bina Bakat 20 latrines and 10 bathrooms in Glagaharjo. The two NGOs also provided 27,000 litres of water per day by tankers. • PMI is providing water supply to three villages at Sleman (Kepuh Harjo, Umbul Harjo and Gelagah Harjo)

5 Shelter: 32. 141,796 tarpaulins or tents have been distributed by the humanitarian community (national and international) and the Government to date. This equates to 122,313 households1. Government damage assessment figures, revised on 26 June, have increased the number of houses ‘beyond usability’ by 47,000 to 353,697. Distribution coverage therefore now equates to 37%. 33. A further 131,835 tarpaulins are confirmed in the pipeline. This means that 254,148 families have been, or will be supplied with at least one tent or tarpaulin under currently funded programmes. With one tarpaulin per family meeting minimum Sphere standards, coverage is projected to reach 72% by 20 July. 34. This also means that, as at 28 June, 231,384 households have still not received any form of emergency shelter assistance. Once supplies currently in the pipeline have been distributed (on or about 20 July), 99,549 families are estimated to be still in need of emergency shelter assistance. In other words, nearly 100,000 extra tarpaulins are urgently required. 35. Taking into account what has already been provided, an additional USD 3.3 million is required to address this urgent need, together with associated Non-Food Items consisting of sleeping mats, sheets, and blankets (Note: One-off GOI grants of R.100,000 (c.USD10) are available specifically for cooking utensils and clothing) 36. Efforts are increasing to ensure that the principles of ‘safety and dignity’ are mainstreamed into operational programmes, especially for women.

Java Earthquake: Emergency Shelter Humanitarian Agency Distributions Summary (including GOI data) As at 27 June 2006

Figures in brackets are from previous SitRep

Assumptions:

1. According to GOI sources, average Family Size = 4.8. This figure has been used here although Emergency Shelter Coordination Group data shows an average family size of 4.3 2. One Family = One Household. This is a false assumption but is used here pending clarification on the number of houses remaining empty and number of multiple households co-habiting 3. Homeless population consists of those whose houses have been destroyed or are heavily damaged 4. Total earthquake affected population = 2,714,999 (previously 2,581,646) 5. Each Tarpaulin and each Tent provide adequate emergency shelter for one family (to Sphere min. standards) 6. Distributions assume one tarpaulin per affected family. The largest single contributor, IFRC, distributes two tarpaulins per affected family which is not factored in here. 7. This figure is not confirmed and is dependent on availability of funds. No provision is included for communal shelter (e.g latrines, privacy, food / possessions storage). 8. These figures reflect distribution data provided by Emergency Shelter Coordination Group members 9. These figures do not reflect those living with host families

1 Some agencies were distributing two tarps per family, though this has now been reduced to one in conformity with Emergency Shelter Coordination Group guidelines

37. IOM continues distribution of tarps and non food items (NFI). The IOM package consists of one tarp, three blankets and three mats as recommended by the NFI working group led by IOM. It is expected that IOM will distribute a minimum of 21,000 tarps, 63,000 mats and 63,000 blankets through local NGOs. 500 units of first aid, hygiene and baby kits are being distributed to the beneficiaries of IOM medical assisted return program. 38. IOM, IFRC, UNDP and UN Habitat jointly supported a workshop on T-shelter (transitional, temporary, traditional, on-site housing built by the people themselves). Organized by various local universities, the workshop concluded that there would be a need for T-shelter.

Food ad Nutrition: 39. WFP has reached 84% of its food distribution plan. One of the cooperating partners, IRD, will continue the distribution until the end of the month. 40. WFP says food distribution will most likely resume in mid July. Cooperating partners will be updated accordingly. WFP will focus on addressing the most vulnerable group -- households with pregnant women and nursing mothers, children under the age of five and the elderly. 41. CARE will start the market based voucher programme by 3 July. This week, CARE will coordinate with local community and SATLAK. The coordination with the local government is required as it is necessary to liaise with them since rice is included in the voucher programme. If the government distributes rice, CARE will be able to substitute rice with other commodity, especially NFI including tools or cleaning work. The programme will serve 10,500 people in village Booharjo and Sumberharjo of Sleman District. CARE also plan to print information as part of EIC, to support the breastfeeding practices among nursing mothers. 42. UNICEF plans to address micronutrient needs of children under the age of five by distributing MP-ASI (6-11 months) and VITALITA. The two are micronutrient sachets for young children. UNICEF and Helen Keller Indonesia will work in partnership to produce the micronutrients.

Education and Protection: 43. A total of 1,890 primary school buildings in Yogyakarta and Central Java Provinces have been damaged and need immediate emergency assistance before the new school term starts on July 17. 44. The Civil Engineering Faculty of and UNICEF have agreed to support/conduct School Structural Assessment. Up to 1,000 damaged educational facilities in affected areas will be surveyed. 45. The government has provided 500 classroom tents to the hardest earthquake hit areas of Yogyakarta and Central Java. The Japanese government has provided an additional 200 school tents. Training on psycho-social support for 800 teachers is ongoing and will be finished by the end of June. 46. The Central Government of Indonesia has announced its plan to provide IDR 20 million for reconstruction of schools destroyed. A comprehensive list of schools to be reconstructed will be made public soon.

7 47. There is a shortage of basic teaching-learning materials for about 261 primary schools. The gender Working Group (WG) has developed assessment tools for a planned assessment on the impact of the earthquake and ongoing living conditions on women. The assessment will begin next week. 48. To date a total of 94 safe spaces for children, including 50 in Bantul and 44 in Klaten, has been established by international and national NGOs. The Child Protection working groups in both Yogyakarta and Klaten identified capacity building in child protection and psychosocial support for children as key areas where local NGOs require support. In response to this need, ICMC will collaborate with the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Gadja Mada to provide technical training for local NGOs and community volunteers on psychosocial support, counseling, and advocacy. UNICEF is also committed to ensuring spaces for the participation of local NGOs and community volunteers in planned trainings on community mobilization, basic psychosocial support for children, child center management, adolescent life-skills, adult support, and child protection. 49. UNICEF-supported DepSos/DinSos registration teams have now registered 839 vulnerable children in earthquake affected areas and 3,366 children in Merapi affected areas. 50. Psychosocial support and/or counseling activities are currently being undertaken by international and national NGOs in 52 affected locations. CCF and UNICEF together undertook a one-day orientation/workshop for the psychosocial and mental health working group. The workshop was held to raise concerns that ongoing psychosocial activities in response to the earthquake have had a strong focus on clinical, mental health, and trauma-based approach which is inappropriate in early stages of post-disaster. 51. With the support of UNICEF, 25 police women began community-outreach activities, which included: a. Identification of vulnerable families and children and working with the Department of Social Affairs to ensure ongoing monitoring and follow-up; b. Establishment of community-based monitoring and reporting mechanisms through the identification of community-level focal points; c. Socialization and raising awareness on issues of violence, abuse, and exploitation, including domestic violence and the involvement of children in harmful work such as debris clearance.

Early Recovery: 52. The Early Recovery Cluster met with BAPEDA Central Java, to review the policy guidelines previously provided to the group. 53. Priority will be given to the reconstruction of schools, health centers, and housing. 54. There is also a need to rebuild many public buildings including policy posts, health centers, sub-district and village offices. BAPEDA Central Java noted that reconstruction will use a gotong royong method of mutual self-help in communities. 55. BAPEDA remarked that agencies and NGOs while assisting people’s housing should not impose their own housing systems on people or undermine the gotong royong method of reconstruction. 56. Regular consultation with the provincial and district offices on planned activities will help assure that assistance is evenly distributed.

8

Agriculture 57. The Terms of Reference and working mechanisms for the group were finalized and discussions were continued on the concept for an agriculture assessment in areas affected by eruption from Mount Merapi. 58. An agricultural assessment carried out by the Agriculture Faculty of Gadjah Mada University (GMU) for areas affected by the earthquake has been completed. The final report for the assessment should be finished within a two week period. 59. FAO will implement a project that will determine and confirm priority agricultural inputs for the most affected farmers in Yogyakarta and Central Java. The team will formulate rehabilitation and recovery plans and strategy to sustain the agriculture livelihoods.

LOGISTICS 60. With a total of 98 trucks and 57 light vehicles available, IOM informed that it can accommodate all transport requests. As of 26 June, IOM has moved a total tonnage volume of 7218 tons. 61. ATLAS Logistique confirms that they received funding for its logistic operation for six-month period. 62. WFP common service logistics bases in Bantul and Kalasan maintain their services for agencies to store items. 63. Extensions of visas (for a maximum period of two weeks only) can be obtained through the local departments of the Ministry of Health or through the social department in Yogyakarta. Relief workers are encouraged to obtain longer visas through normal channels in Jakarta. 64. It is expected that "fast track" customs procedures, established for the relief operations, will end 2 July and that normal import procedures will be back in place.

COORDINATION & SECURITY 65. UN Coordination Office in Bantul is now moved to Bantul Head of District Office, second floor. 66. Local NGO network conducted a workshop on humanitarian accountability, and a dialogue forum to jointly clarify objectives and strategies between local and international organizations. 67. The UN’s Earthquake Response Plan has been revised and will be released 30 June on Relief Web (www.reliefweb.int). There will be a more formal presentation to stakeholders in Jakarta on 4 July.
