Merapi Lava Tour are local initiatives from fellow jeep community, bringing tourist from Kaliurang to several villages near Merapi, which had been suffered from Merapi eruption on October 2010. The condition are a lot better now. Houses and masjid are built. Roads are paved. The trees are growing.
The clouds of hot ash and gas racing down the mountains levelled entire villages, killing hundreds and destroying homes and livelihoods.
Jujur. Tak mudah untuk membantu recovery kembali hunian bagi warga korban merapi yang tempat tinggalnya tersapu awan panas dan lahar panas. Setelah tiga bulan berlalu dan aktivitas kemanusiaan tak segempita kala Merapi erupsi, tragedi kemanusiaan sesungguhnya baru dimulai.
Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat, Front Umat Islam (FUI), dan Yayasan Klaten Peduli Ummat (YKPU) satu dari beberapa lembaga yang masih berkiprah di Merapi. Setelah membangun pipanisasi air dari Merbabu ke Merapi sejauh 12 KM, kini kami mulai membangun rumah untuk korban Merapi di Balerante, Kemalang, Klaten. Sebagian area di Balerante tersapu awan panas kala itu.
Kini warga memilih kembali ke rumah semula yang telah musnah dengan membuat bedeng seperti kandang ayam. Pilihan kembali ini dirembug bersama relawan Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat dan YKPU. Pengalaman Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat membangun 600 unit rumah bagi warga korban gempa di padang dimusyawarahkan dengan warga.
Masyarakat Balerante pun memutuskan kembali jika ada relawan yang mendampingi untuk membangun rumah.
Alhamdulillah, ada 100 unit rumah yang bisa dibangun di lokasi rumah mereka yang telah hilang oleh awan panas. Tapi ada ratusan rumah lain yang juga menunggu. Hari ini sudah 14 unit yang sedang dibangun dan 4 rumah siap ditempati. Lokasi pembangunan rumah di atas tanah mereka sendiri.
Rumah ini tipe 36 dilengkapi dapur dan kamar mandi. Untuk mencapai 100 unit, Al-Azhar Peduli Ummat tentu tak mampu sendiri. Pembangunan rumah ini juga melibatkan peran warga korban merapi. Peran Anda, kita, dan lembaga serta perusahaan bisa disinergikan dalam program ini. Kami mengundang untuk membangun kembali
kehidupan warga korban merapi. Kapan jika tidak hari ini? Mari segera tunaikan amanah kemanusiaan yang telah dipercayakan pada kita.narsa

Local aid agencies are being stretched to capacity. The fatigue is etched into the face of this local Red Cross worker.

This photo was taken by my cousin Enny in Boyolali who runs one of our schools there when the Merapi volcano erupted on October 26th.
The tall towering smoke is the volcano's hot ash spurring into the sky. The school and neighborhood was evacuated soon after. The area was covered in ash 24 hours later.
At 2,911 meters, the summit of Merapi Volcano and its vigorous steam plume rises above a bank of stratus clouds on its southern flank.

This picture was taken at 5.45 am after the eruption few hours earlier. Merapi is located in Java, Indonesia and is one of the most active volcano in the world.
Women with small children are often the most vulnerable in this type of humanitarian emergency.

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located in Central Java, 28 kilometers (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. I was there on November 10, 2010. By this time 153 people had been reported to have been killed and 320,000 were displaced. The area was restricted and this was as close as I was allowed to go. Prior, on 25 October, the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its highest level (4) and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) zone were told to evacuate. The evacuation orders affected at least 19,000 people; however, the number that complied at the time remained unclear to authorities. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of October 23-24, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometer (3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. Later the eruptive activities again increased requiring a continuation of the Level 4 alert and continued provision of exclusion zones around the volcano. By November 8, the death toll had increased to 275. The toll had risen to 324 by November 24. The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) explained that the death toll had risen after a number of victims succumbed to severe burns and more bodies were found on the volcano’s slopes.
