Indonesia Earthquake | Recovery in Flores

On the morning of 15 August 2026 a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the north coast of Flores in Indonesia. 136 people died and more than 95000 homes were damaged.

The response our crew runs in Flores with partners on the island. Families building timber shelters get roof sheeting and posts. Villages get clean water and children in tent classrooms get notebooks and bags.

Our crew searched damaged homes and moved the injured and the elderly to safety. Families settled into tents with their pets.

Flores is reached by ferry. Supplies for far islands like Palue go by small boat. Where landslides shut village roads the crew walks in.

No. The crew on the ground decides each week's work. Donors do not choose a family or a task.

Fewer but yes. A magnitude 5.3 aftershock shook East Manggarai on 21 September 2026.

Many families took their dogs and cats into the tents. Goats and buffalo that scattered on the hillsides were rounded up with the villagers.
