Additional aid weighing 25 tons reached Indonesia’s Nusa Tenggara Timur on the second day of the earthquake response, bringing the total distributed to 52 tons, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said.

Market Impact

The new shipment included 5 tons of ready-to-eat meals, 4 tons of drinking water and 16 tons of staple foods, plus health workers and medicines, tents and clean water, he told reporters early Monday. Logistics were flown from Jakarta late Saturday on two C-130J Hercules and split across land, air and helicopter routes to Labuan Bajo, Maumere, Manggarai, Ende and five other districts.

Teddy said ministers and deputy ministers have been in the affected districts since the disaster struck to lead the response.

Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian is in East Manggarai, Human Development and Culture Coordinating Minister Pratikno in Ruteng, Public Works Minister Dody Hanggodo in Ende, Health Deputy Minister Benjamin Paulus Octavianus in Maumere, Social Affairs Deputy Minister Agus Jabo Priyono in Ruteng, BNPB head Suharyanto and Basarnas chief Mohammad Syafii in Manggarai, and Pertamina president-director Simon Aloysius Mantiri in Reo, Manggarai.

In a separate announcement, Pratikno said the visiting cabinet team will join Monday’s Independence Day ceremony with displaced communities in NTT.
