As of November 8th, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) recorded that the earthquake that struck Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh last Wednesday (November 7th) has killed 102 people. The earthquake also caused 10,000 people to evacuate to 28 temporary shelters spread across 3 regencies.

The powerful 6.5 magnitude earthquake resulted in 12,560 houses being damaged, 105 shops collapsing, and dozens of mosques and houses being destroyed. Some victims died or were injured due to being trapped under collapsed buildings.

The search for victims under the rubble is still ongoing. A total of 1,456 members of a joint SAR team have been deployed to search for victims. Damaged infrastructure, inadequate road access, and power outages are hindering the search efforts.
