Indonesia is highly prone and has history of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis. Muslim Aid has repeatedly responded when disaster strikes, including after the 2018 Sulawesi quake, when more than 2,000 were killed. A powerful 6.2 magnitude earthquake also hit Mamuju District and Majene District, West Sulawesi Province, Indonesia on 15 January 2021. Hundreds of people were injured and thousands displaced by the quake. Muslim Aid responded by supporting over 400 households with emergency relief items, emergency shelter kits and by installing two WASH (Water and Sanitation and Hygiene) facilities for improved access to water and toilets.
