Around 12,800 people have been displaced and remain unable to return to their homes following a magnitude 7.7 earthquake in eastern Indonesia.
The powerful quake struck Flores Island on Saturday, killing 54 people and injuring more than 100 others.
Authorities reported no missing persons as of Monday.
Many residents have been staying in schools, police stations, government offices, and temporary evacuation sites due to fears of aftershocks.
More than 1,600 aftershocks have been recorded in the affected area.
Indonesia’s disaster management agency said at least 914 houses were severely damaged, while several other structures, including schools, health facilities, and government offices, were also affected.
Meanwhile, the Indonesian Air Force has deployed 13 tons of emergency supplies using two Hercules aircraft and a Boeing aircraft.
The assistance includes food, water, clothing, and medical equipment.
Search and rescue operations remain ongoing in affected areas, while aerial missions are also being conducted to deliver assistance to communities that are difficult to reach.
