Aftershocks continue in Central Java, and the Meteorology and Geophysics Agency predicts they will continue for at least two more weeks.

On June 4, the governor of Yogyakarta stated that the rescue phase of the emergency situation had passed and that Yogyakarta and Central Java were now in transition to the

reconstruction phase. The government has stated that it will focus on non-permanent housing for the people affected by the disaster.

Residents of the city of Yogyakarta city are returning to their normal routines, although some stores and hotels are still closed. The traditional markets have re-opened for business, but many vendors, who were from Bantul, were killed in the earthquake.

Water is not the main problem, but sanitation facilities are scarce. At a United Nations Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs meeting, it was noted that at least 15,000 latrines need to be built in the affected areas.

YAKKUM Emergency Unit (YEU)
YAKKUM foundation (Yayasan Kristen untuk Kesehatan Umum — Christian Foundation for Public Health)

(Note about the YEU response: YEU is one unit of the YAKKUM foundation, and YEU is working with the other units of the foundation — hospitals and community-development programs — to respond to the earthquake.)

At Bethesda Hospital in Yogyakarta, operated by YAKKUM:

2,734 patients (as of June 5) have been treated since the earthquake; 271 injured patients have received surgery; 67 more patients were added to the list for surgery on
June 5.

A training workshop on "Disaster Nursing" was given to the hospital's nurses. Similar training is scheduled for YEU staff next week, including non-medical personnel.

The hospital is providing 1,000 food packages for patients' families and hospital staff and volunteers (volunteers are from various backgrounds, and most are students) three times a day.

YEU's medical outreach service:

Mobile clinic teams are providing some basic health-related services, especially for those living in tents or under tarpaulins.

Total patients served by mobile clinics: 3,190 (as of June 4).

Community organizers, working in 11 villages, are accompanying the mobile clinics and are helping community residents to identify how they can meet their own needs.

Engineers have installed public latrines at 24 points.

Total beneficiaries in Central Java (Wedi and Prambanan): 1,865 households

Total beneficiaries in Yogyakarta (Bantul and Gunung Kidul): 3,660 households

Rehabilitation unit of YAKKUM:

Staff of this unit have been providing medical treatment in Bantul through a mobile clinic (specifically to people with fractures). They are providing wound care and comprehensive rehabilitation (physical, mental and livelihood) for post-operative patients discharged from hospitals. The unit's programs are also providing temporary shelter.

YAKKUM plans to establish a community center (a kind of simple community hall) to provide a place for the care of children; a place where students and children can learn; a temporary place for the village government; and, importantly, a place for people to sit together and discuss how to rebuild their villages.

YAKKUM has been conducting drawing activities with children, and their pictures are being analyzed by a psychologist for possible trauma healing to take place.

Yayasan Tanggul Bencana Indonesia (YTBI)

YTBI has provided assistance to 1,794 households in three districts: Bantul, Klaten and the city of Yogyakarta.

Food packages (each containing 5 kg of rice, 5 ounces of dried fish, 1 can of fish, 5 eggs, 5 packages of instant noodles, 5 ounces of cooking oil and 1 bottle of drinking water) have been distributed to 751 households in eight villages in Bantul and Imogiri sub-districts (Patalan, Mangunan, Sidomulyo, Jodhog, Sabdadadi, Pandak, Canden and Pundong).

Baby kits, lanterns and kerosene, tarpaulins, mattresses, women's underwear and sanitary items were also distributed in these villages. The survivors staying near the YTBI crisis center are also benefiting from electric lights powered by generators.

In coordination with YEU, YTBI provided 100 food packages for newly released patients from Bethesda Hospital in Yogyakarta.

Church World Service Indonesia (CWS)

CWS has established an office in Perum Sidoarum, Godean, Yogyakarta for its operations in Yogyakarta and Central Java and has distributed tents, blankets, and supplies to affected areas.

This introduction process will continue in the following days to ensure that the community is satisfied with the plan. CWS plans to build 1,130 semi-permanent latrines, each to be used by 20 people, and will service a total of 785 households.

Based on a needs assessment, CWS's water and sanitation team will assist two areas in Bantul district, Wukirsari village, Imogiri sub-district, and Canden village, Jetis sub-district. Water availability in most of these areas is generally good.

The CWS psychosocial support team is coordinating with Duta Wacana Christian University and Wangsa Manggala University undergraduate students for collaboration in psychosocial assistance.

A psychosocial support (PSS) team conducted a needs assessment in Wonokromo, Plered sub-district. It found that most survivors are still afraid of living in their houses (even if not damaged), are scared by loud noises and are having trouble sleeping. The result of the assessment will be used as the basis for activities to support the psychosocial needs of people trauamatized by the earthquake.

CWS is planning to provide food for survivors with the support of the World Food Program (WFP). Each household will receive 30 kg of rice, 225 packages of noodles and 22.5 kg of biscuits. CWS is currently waiting for WFP's approval of the food aid plan, which will assist two villages in Wedi sub-district, Klaten district.

Coordination

The three ACT members in Indonesia continue to coordinate their responses. Several coordination meetings have been held.

YTBI maintains communication with CWS in seeking possibilities to coordinate, especially in the distribution of non-food items.

YTBI also works in collaboration with Islamic Relief in transportation, and an agreement has been made that Islamic Relief will provide tents and water-purification equipment in the areas where YTBI currently works.

CWS is working with its local partners — Mitra Alam and LPASKA Solo — as well as Yayasan Kembang Yogyakarta.
