My mother and I went shopping to Pasar Johar Market last Sunday. We took a
bus at 8 a.m. and got there at 10 a.m.

We went to the fruit section. We bought two kilograms of guavas and

three papayas. After that, we went to the fish section to buy two kilograms of
fresh fish. Then we went to the fashion shop to buy dresses for my sister.

A number of people were killed recently after a flash flood and landslide in the Morowali
regency, Central Sulawesi, while thousand of others were isolated.
Reports said that until the 9th day of the disaster, survivors were still isolated in their villages
because transportation routes were totally cut. Meanwhile, food aid was not enough and health
assistance had not yet reached the flood-hit locations. The conditions were indeed a major problem
in assisting the victims. Going in by food was the only solution for a joint team from the local health
office and the Indonesian Red Cross. This team had to walk to reach the four isolated villages of
Ueruru Mamosalato, Kolo Bawah and Baturube. The nearest village was five kilometers away.
Other groups will later follow the tracks of the medical team to distribute various basic
necessities. Every effort must be made. The flood victims can’t no longer wait for assistance.
