b. Providing support on Government initiative to open access as wide as possible to every kind of support to the victims.
c. Urging government to inform public complete information on accessible crisis centers, and to ensure all logistic support and humanitarian aid channeled by government, distributed well to victims.
d. Calling for public to be a watchdog for government logistic supplies and humanitarian aid in order that all support will reach and be benefited by the victims. This is important, with regard to the repeated corruption cases of humanitarian aid due to misconduct of government officials.
e. Ensuring that a recovery system and rescue operation for devastated areas will be planed well, supported by sufficient resources and managed transparently and accountably.
The crisis center will coordinate with local organizations in regions, e.g: Dompet Dhuafa. All information will be given through WALHI’s website www.walhi.or.id
Our joint statement serves also as a call for all stakeholders to build solidarity and to share for Acehnese and North–Sumatran, victims of Earthquake and Tsunami.
