The death toll from a weekend earthquake in Indonesia has topped 5,400. More than 20,000 people were injured in the disaster and as many as 200,000 people have been left homeless, many without shelter or food.

The 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck at dawn on Saturday near the ancient city of Yogyakarta in central Java. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono predicted it would take three months to provide the displaced and injured with basic shelter and medical equipment and regular food supplies. He has temporarily moved his office to Yogyakarta.

Emergency aid has begun to trickle in after heavy rain and a series of aftershocks initially hampered relief operations. United Nations officials say more than 22 countries have responded to Indonesia”s call for help with aid or pledges of assistance.

Among the aid pledged from abroad was $2.5 million dollars from the United States and $3.8 billion dollars from the European Union.
