On May 27 a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck near the ancient city of Yogyakarta.

The quake also triggered heightened activity in Central Java province's deadly Mount Merapi volcano.

A team of doctors from Tulsa, Oklahoma are heading to Indonesia on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 to provide medical aid to victims of the Indonesian earthquake.

The 8 member team are from In His Image Family Medicine Residency. This is the same medical group that sent a team to Banda Aceh following the tsunami December 2005.

In His Image is very experienced in disaster relief medical efforts. Dr. Mitchell Duininck, Residency Director, lead the tsunami team and is also leading this team. They are working in conjunction with World Harvest, an international relief and development organization that was founded in 1989.

The 6.2-magnitude quake also triggered heightened activity in Central Java province's deadly Mount Merapi volcano, which has been spewing out clouds of hot ash, gas and lava for several weeks, a scientist said.

Survivors just a few miles from aid distribution centres in Indonesia said they’re still waiting for emergency food nearly a week after an earthquake shattered their homes.

The official death toll rose to more than 6,200 after new reports from remote villages.

A massive international aid effort has picked up pace in recent days and the region’s biggest city, Yogyakarta, has become the main aid dispersal point after the airport and main access roads were repaired and reopened.

But international relief teams had yet to reach some remote areas, and delivery was sporadic in others, villagers and officials said.
