East Timor would donate US$1 million to disaster survivors in Indonesia’s Mentawai islands, Mount Merapi and Wasior, an East Timor official said in Dili on Wednesday.
House of Representatives spokesman Antonio Ramos said Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao had conveyed his concerns about the recent disasters that hit three provinces in Indonesia.
“This is aid from the people of East Timor for Indonesia, particularly for the Mount Merapi eruption survivors,” Antonio said as quoted by Antara news agency.
East Timor Social Affairs Minister Maria Domingo Alves and Deputy Finance Minister Rui Hanjan have been nominated to hand over the aid to the Indonesian government.
The East Timorese government also asked the two officials to check on the 1,200 East Timorese students living in Yogyakarta and Surakarta, Central Java.
“If the conditions get worse, we will evacuate them soon,” Antonio said.
