The death toll in Indonesia is now 5,136 people, 6,505 are wounded, and over 100,000 are homeless.

These people just can't buy a good break right now.

The quake, which struck early Saturday morning close to the former Javanese royal capital of Yogyakarta, has so far killed 5,136 people, wounded nearly 6,504 and left 100,000 homeless.

Heavy rain added to the misery Monday as grieving survivors scavenged for food in the debris of their houses. Rescuers are being hampered by rain, power outages and the closure of a local airport.

"I saw in many areas that there are many things that need to be speeded up," the president said, after declaring a state of emergency to quicken relief efforts.

Slammed by some critics as being too slow to act in past disasters, Yudhoyono spent the first night after the quake sleeping in a tent along with survivors and moved his office to Yogyakarta to keep an eye on relief efforts, AP reported.

The good thing was that the U.N. was ready with food and housing assistance. The entire region is still in dire need of medical assistance and financial donations. Do your best to help out a fellow human in need if you can.
