On Friday, December 12, 2014, around 5:30 p.m. Western Indonesian time, a deadly landslide struck off the mountainous area of Banjarnegara District in Central Java, Indonesia. Heavy rains in recent days triggered a rush of mud, rocks and trees that wiped out over 100 houses in and near Sampang Village and displaced more than 500 people. The disaster management agency reported at least 39 people dead, 69 missing, and 15 people injured, 11 of which were in serious condition.
Damage wreaked by the destruction, as well as inclement weather, have seriously hampered rescue and relief efforts.
To help the survivors, CERDAS Foundation and Indonesia Diaspora Foundation (IDF) have been able to raise $2,506.70 from the US. The funds have been distributed to provide building materials, education aid (school backpack, supplies and uniforms) and grievance aid.
