A devastating magnitude 7.7 earthquake has struck Indonesia’s Flores Island, killing at least 53 people and displacing 5,000—making it the deadliest quake in the country since 2022. With shallow depths and widespread destruction, over 1,000 homes, schools, and hospitals are ruined or damaged, forcing survivors to sleep outdoors amid fears of aftershocks. Medical facilities are crippled, operating rooms and pharmacies offline, while aid is blocked by landslides and road damage—some villages like Nitung remained cut off for nearly two days. Hundreds of aftershocks continue to shake the island, amplifying trauma as rescue teams race to reach isolated communities amid a dire shortage of food, water, and medical support.
