JAYAPURA, KOMPAS — An armed conflict in Nduga regency, Papua, has continued to take its toll. In addition to the killing of many civilians, soldiers, police members and construction workers, a number of residents, who escaped conflict-ridden Nduga regency, reportedly died due to hunger and malnutrition.

Last weekend, data from differing sources circulated showing the numbers of refugees from Nduga who died due to starvation was 177, 139, 130 or 50 people. None of the figures have been verified.
