Evacuation in inflatable boats<\/h2>\n

Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by these disasters, which were caused by significant amounts of monsoon rain. In Indonesia's capital Jakarta, rivers burst their banks and an estimated 100,000 people had to be evacuated, while an estimated 250,000 people were affected by the floods. Jakarta has been affected by flooding in the past and a lot has been done to prevent such situations - the government has even considered moving the capital to a less prone area. People drowned in their basements, were electrocuted and taken by the floodwaters. The Danish European Mission partner had to use rubber boats to evacuate people and provide those in need with food, water, medicine, help with house cleaning and repairs. Mattresses, beds, blankets and pillows will also be distributed after the contaminated sewage water destroyed families' belongings. Several teams of Christian workers are now ready to help those in need with the most urgent relief.
