Indonesian province faces hunger, drought two weeks after deadly quake

Two weeks after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Flores Island in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province, local residents are facing severe challenges in accessing food and clean water. The disaster has left 180,000 people living in temporary shelters, and ongoing aftershocks add to the instability. The situation is being exacerbated by the arrival of the Super El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to further intensify the crisis in the region. Hery Bertus and his son, whose home was destroyed in the earthquake, represent the plight of many affected families. The province is now grappling with both immediate survival needs and the long-term impacts of natural disasters.
