A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Flores, Indonesia on 15 August 2026, claiming over 40 lives, damaging homes and forcing thousands of people to evacuate. Continued aftershocks and disruptions to electricity, telecommunications and road access are adding to the uncertainty faced by affected families. 

For children already living with water scarcity, food insecurity and malnutrition in Flores, this disaster threatens to deepen existing vulnerabilities and expose them to further protection and psychosocial risks. 

World Vision is responding to reach 25,000 people impacted by the earthquake, including 12,000 children, with emergency shelter, clean water, food, hygiene and nutrition assistance, child protection and psychosocial support. Your gift can help families meet their immediate needs of relief.
