UNICEF: Jakarta Flood Aid
As torrential rains ease off and floodwaters begin to recede, thousands of people in Jakarta and surrounding areas are now returning to their homes.
Garbage trucks have been out in force on the capital's streets for a huge clean-up, while relief supplies are rushed in to help devastated residents rebuild their lives.<br><br>
UNICEF emergency supplies worth more than $150,000 are now being distributed to flood victims in Jakarta. At the peak of the flooding "the worst the city has seen in five years " more than 500,000 people were forced to abandon their homes. The floods also paralyzed most of the city, inundating roads and cutting off clean water supplies, telephone lines and electricity.<br><br>
