Siti Aisyah cradles her 16-month-old daughter, Baiq Adiba Shaqeena, as she is treated on Sunday (26/8/2018) for diarrhea at the Puskesmas Pemenang (community health center) in North Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Three weeks after the magnitude 7.0 earthquake shook Lombok, many displaced residents are suffering from diarrhea and respiratory infections due to poor sanitation and living in makeshift tents.

NORTH LOMBOK, KOMPAS – The emergency response period in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), ended on Saturday (25/8/2018), giving way to the reconstruction and rehabilitation process. However, sanitation remains problematic at many shelters, especially in hamlets not located near major roads. Diarrhea and acute respiratory infection are spreading among the evacuees.

Sanitary facilities at many shelters in the regencies of West Lombok and North Lombok were found to be in a poor state on Sunday (26/8). A lack of clean water, inadequate washing and toilet (MCK) facilities and inadequate tents have led to many evacuees falling sick.
