Caritas Indonesia (Karina) has announced it will build new homes for survivors of a cyclone that triggered floods and mudslides that killed more than 180 people in an eastern province this month.
The plan by the Catholic Church s social arm is part of continued efforts to help thousands of victims of tropical Cyclone Seroja that struck East Nusa Tenggara province on April 5, Easter Sunday, killing 181 people, injuring many more and damaging thousands of homes. Officials say 47 people are still missing following the disaster.
