One week after the earthquake that killed more than 6,000 people, residents of Yogyakarta and surrounding areas are still struggling to recover. The slow arrival of relief supplies at disaster sites has added insult to injury for victims. Reports abound that aid, both in the form of goods and medical assistance, has not reached some areas since the quake struck on May 27. The uneven distribution of relief goods and medical teams has forced victims and their families to rely on their own resources to try to repair their broken lives. Some have even resorted to begging to sustain themselves.

Voor wie overblijft is het leven moeilijk
Eten voor vandaag graag! Geen andere oplossing dan bedelen.
In al die ellende kan je alleen nog bidden tot god.
Woont die god in jou?
