Earlier today an
earthquake measuring 6 on the Richter scale struck near the capital of Jakarta,
leaving hundreds of buildings damaged. And just hours later a second earthquake
struck, albeit several hundred miles to the east in the less populous Seram region.
Earthquake monitor CSEM
EMSC said the quake struck at around 5.38pm GMT at a depth of 25 miles. They
said Ambon was the nearest heavily populated area, with around 350,000 people
living in the city.
It comes after a day of
chaos in the Pacific Ring of Fire, with earthquakes striking and volcanoes
eruption across the globe.
Today’s earlier
Indonesia quake saw patients evacuated from hospitals and people flee their
homes. A spokesman for Indonesia's disaster agency said: “In Cianjur, six
students were seriously injured and two students suffered light injuries when
the roof collapsed.”He said more than 130 homes and a mosque were damaged.
Indonesia sits on the
geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire and is regularly hit by earthquakes.
In 2004, the Indian Ocean tsunami killed 226,000 people in 13 countries,
including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.In December, a quake of 6.5 magnitude
killed at least three people when it hit Java, at a depth of 57 miles, and
buildings in Jakarta swayed for several seconds.
The World Bank reckons
natural disasters cost Indonesia 0.3 percent of its gross domestic product
annually but a 2015 government report on disaster risk management said a major
earthquake, occurring once every 250 years, could cause losses in excess of $30
billion, or 3 percent of GDP.
