A 7.7-magnitude earthquake strikes eastern Indonesia and leaves more than 12,000 people displaced as they await urgent assistance. On Monday, many survivors shelter in temporary sites such as schools, police stations and government offices, while a large number remain outside and are stranded.
Reports from the region describe the scale of displacement as reaching nearly 13,000 people. Both outlets emphasize that aid is needed for people who have not yet been able to return to their homes or access services. The accounts focus on the immediate situation on the ground—where residents are sleeping and waiting—rather than on specific damage assessments or the status of emergency response operations.
While the exact figures are slightly different—“more than 12,000” versus “nearly 13,000”—the overall picture is consistent: a major quake triggers widespread displacement in eastern Indonesia, and many affected people are still waiting for aid supplies and support.
