While CNN reports that the latest disaster in Indonesia has killed 5,400, with another 6,500 badly injured, Christian aid groups around the world have mobilized to offer assistance to the central Java region, where over 100,000 have been left homeless.

Saturday's 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck before dawn, destroying thousands of homes in the Bantul district in Yogyakarta Province, according to World Vision staff in Indonesia. The province's capital, the heavily populated royal city of Yogyakarta, is some 275 miles ESE of Jakarta on the island of Java. Three days after the quake, authorities were not expecting to uncover more bodies, according to the head of an emergency response team from Malaysia. "The collapsed homes were all so small that anyone who was trapped would have been extracted by their family members," Supt. Abdul Aziz Ahmad told AP.

Power and telephone service remained out for most of the impacted areas and tensions remained high that a nearby active volcano may erupt.

Even so, World Vision relief teams in Jakarta have dispatched emergency supplies to thousands of people left homeless, and are distributing essential items — including blankets, temporary shelter, and clothing — to provide immediate aid to affected children and families. Medical supplies will also be distributed to assist the wounded and support overwhelmed local hospitals. "We expect to reach some 200 families immediately with these initial supplies," says James East, World Vision's Communications Director for Asia, "We're moving very quickly to determine the full extent of the need so we can help the most vulnerable."

Meanwhile, Operation Blessing Indonesia Director Mark McClendon says that, "Hospitals are filled beyond capacity with people lining up outside the doors and stacked in parking lots" in Yogyakarta. In response, Operation Blessing flew in an emergency medical team (17 doctors, 9 nurses and a team of volunteers) to support the overflow of victims at surrounding hospitals.
