The worldwide Christian community response to the Indonesia earthquake remains in full swing over one week after the disaster struck the Yogyakarta region leaving more than 6,000 dead.
Aid agencies and doctors warn that the sanitary conditions continue to worsen for the approximately 650,000 people left displaced by the 6.3 magnitude quake, with many forced to wash with dirty water that infects wounds and spreads skin diseases.
There is also growing concern about the spread of bird flu in the quake zone with many aid workers concerned by some of the homeless sleeping in chicken coops that could contain the disease.
