People of Yogya, Bantul and Klaten need your Help. This fresh report from Bantul.
ANG LING, BANTUL, TUESDAY 30 MAY
I'm down in Bantul, the southern area. It's really really bad.
There are so many homeless people here and it's raining heavily.
I came here by car from Yogyakarta, 25 km away, to try to help. I brought food and shelter. It took me half an hour to get here.
Some individuals like me are trying to help, but not the government. I really don't know what the government is doing right now.
I heard people from Bantul on the radio saying they hadn't received any help. So I came here and it's true. They have no food and no shelter.
There's very bad organisation and bad management here.
All the hospitals are struggling, there are not enough doctors or medicine.
When people give donations, some of it goes to ministers' pockets.
Some people are taking the opportunity to make money. I bought 500 boxes of noodles, the shop keepers raised the price.
