Entire communities in Indonesia have been swallowed by catastrophic flooding. More than 1,200 people have lost their lives and over 240,000 people are still missing as powerful storms and landslides have swept through villages, towns and cities. Families are stranded on rooftops, trapped in mud and forced to flee with nothing. They need food, shelter, hygiene essentials and more. They need US to act now.
Torrential rain has turned streets into deep rivers, carrying debris, broken wood, metal and mud through what used to be safe neighbourhoods. Homes have been swept away while schools and mosques are completely submerged. Mothers are clutching children with nowhere dry to sit and nowhere safe to sleep.
Across the flooded regions, people are spending long nights in freezing conditions with no warmth and no protection from the rain. Many have been awake for days, soaked from head to toe, trying to guard what little they managed to save. There is no dry ground. No shelter from the cold wind. No barrier between them and the rising water. They are exhausted, frightened and completely exposed.
This crisis is unfolding right now. Thousands urgently need safe and reliable shelter, food, water and hygiene essentials to survive the days ahead. Please act now to help families who have nowhere else to turn.
$100 will help deliver urgent essentials to a family in need who have lost everything to the floods.
