go like number. well the chairman of the disaster management agency has of the death count from the most recent earthquake is up to ninety eight and there will definitely be more we have not encountered yet so far the death toll does not include any foreigners and about ten thousand foreigners have been evacuated already because these are both popular holiday islands but there are at least ten thousand more of trying to aus and waiting to be evacuated there's simply not the capacity and one of the main challenges facing risk youth teams and relief agencies . the main challenge is the scale of displacement especially when residents of lombok aka not quality years because they are being taken care of in shelters and they have suffered nearly all of the casualties so as despite the come so quickly after the last one the personnel is quite short so it's a very intensive situation right now in long voc and even in bali where two people
