  • Story Text: Indonesia begins distributing daily stipend to Aceh
    tsunami refugees.



    Indonesia has begun distributing a cash stipend to
    tsunami victims throughout Aceh province.

    About 220,000 people were left dead or missing in Aceh
    alone and hundreds of thousands made homeless in the
    province on the northern tip of Sumatra Island.

    On Sunday (March 27), the distribution of the first
    cash stipend to tsunami survivors began, allowing families
    to collect 3,000 rupiah (about 30 cents) per head daily.

    Registration of eligible families was conducted at
    newly built barracks that became the new homes for some of
    the 400,000 people left homeless by the deadly tsunami.

    "I'm sad because I don't even have any money to buy
    food for my children," said Mariana, a refugee from Ujong
    Pancu sub-district.

    With her husband and two children, Mariana now lives at
    a complex of barracks in Lambaro, eight kilometre east of
    the provincial capital Banda Aceh.

    "Each family is eligible to collect 3,000 rupiah per
    head in that family," said Ingin Jaya District official,
    Mita Erlinawati, adding that the cash payment will be done
    cumulatively every month over a period of one year.

    With the cash, families are now able to buy vegetables
    and other ingredients needed to prepare more decent meals
    to compliment rice or instant noodles distributed by the
    main aid agencies.

    Indonesia had set March 26 as the end of its relief
    phase, saying a master plan is now needed to guide the
    massive reconstruction work, while contributions by aid
    agencies in Aceh needed to be coordinated. Aid pledges from around
    the world have topped $5 billion.
