n official has said evacuees in Kediri had insufficient access to logistics and are in need of material support in order to rebuild damaged homes.
The latest data shows that the recent eruption of Mt. Kelud severely damaged 3,224 houses and slightly damaged 2,192 others.
Kediri Deputy Regent Masykuri said the local administration would join forces with the military in the house-repair project.
Approximately 12,000 sacks of cements are available for the project, the number is still provisional as the administration was awaiting the arrival of more building materials.
'We will wait until the end of this week. If there is no more strong indication of eruptions, then we will let the people return home,' he said as quoted by Antara news wire on Tuesday.
The Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation Center (PVMBG) is still warning against returning to within 10 kilometers of the mountain's crater.(yln/dic)
