About 2.000 refugees came bringing only what they could carry. “I left my possessions back home. I couldn’t take my motorcycle with me on the boat,” said a refugee, Rosmi, today.
The refugees were taken directly to the Training Center dormitory. “This is an emergency situation so we had to use the Training Center,” said the West Papua Disaster Management Chief, Derek Ampnier.
The refugees will be staying in tents and provided with drinking water and medicines, Ampnier said. Last night, the refugees, including babies and children, slept on the floor over a cloth.
