Homes damaged, roads blocked and families forced to live in tents as hospitals continue to treat injured
At the Cimacan regional hospital in Cipanas, Cianjur, medical staff members were still busy treating patients inside three makeshift tents on Tuesday afternoon, following Monday’s devastating earthquake. Many patients were admitted to Ciamacan hospital after the main road to downtown Cianjur was closed due to landslides triggered by the quake.
Rizki Utama, a hospital spokesperson, said the facility had treated 260 victims, 14 of whom died. Most of the victims arrived with fractures and cuts.
