Excerpt: "The quake killed more than 300 people while some 270,000 people are homeless or displaced. About 68,000 homes were damaged or destroyed on this island with a population of more than 3 million.
Nearly a week since the 7.0 quake, Lombok is still reeling but glimmers of normality are returning and devout villagers are making plans for temporary replacements of mosques that were flattened."
 
I can already hear the cry, we need to take some of them in (refugees) and also provide aid, to help rebuild their mosques.
