Indonesia: la devastazione dello tsunami
18.07.2006 Invocano aiuto e hanno paura di essere trascurati dai soccorsi i circa 23 mila sopravvissuti allo tsunami di ieri a Pangandaran in Indonesia. La famosa localitą turistica č stata la pił colpita dall’onda anomala abbattutasi sull’isola di Java in seguito a un forte sisma sottomarino a largo di Jakarta. Nel disastro sono morte almeno 379 persone. E il bilancio č ancora provvisorio. Intanto laddove non arrivano gli aiuti ufficiali i locali si mobilitano come possono - riporta l'agenzia Asianews. Centinaia di rifugiati, che hanno dormito all’aperto la notte scorsa in moschee e campi allestiti d’urgenza, lamentano che il governo locale non ha ancora distribuito sufficiente cibo e acqua, né vestiti. Gli abitanti restano sotto forte shock: il cataclisma di ieri č il terzo a colpire l’Indonesia in un anno e mezzo. Intanto si indaga sulle responsabilitą ed č polemica sulle misure di sicurezza: l'allarme infatti č suonato in ritardo e la parte meridionale dell'isola di Giava era completamente priva di un sistema di controllo.
