00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,080
UNICEF is sending in emergency supplies to the Indonesian province of West Sumatra,

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,920
where two major earthquakes shook the region, killing dozens of people

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,040
and injuring nearly a thousand more.

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,200
Thousands of homes, schools, and businesses were destroyed

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
when the 6.3 tremor struck the area last week.

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Aftershocks are still being felt, and many residents are choosing to camp out

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,440
amid fear of another major jolt.

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,320
UNICEF is helping by providing the victims with basic necessities,

10
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,080
like hygiene kits, cooking sets, jerry cans, and water bladders

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,520
that provide some 5,000 liters of clean water.

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:47,120
UNICEF is now on an emergency response,

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:52,280
and we focus on the children and the mother.

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,320
Local officials say hundreds of schools have been damaged,

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,400
and some are beyond repair.

16
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,920
In response, UNICEF has distributed 30 school tents,

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,560
and with the help of Army personnel,

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,360
are ensuring that students do not miss out on their studies.

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,480
And a hundred more tents are now on their way.

20
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,240
Meanwhile, child protection and health and nutrition specialists are on the ground

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,000
and are working with local government to ensure the needs of the survivors,

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,680
especially children, are met.

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
This is Susanna Dain for UNICEF Television.
