JAKARTA, 16 July 2006 - Australia plans to provide 21 million U.S. dollars to support the rehabilitation and reconstruction in earthquake-devastated areas of Yogyakarta province over the next three to four years, local media reported on Saturday.

Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Bill Farmer was quoted by the Jakarta Post as saying on Friday that the funds would be allocated for education, health and small and medium-sized enterprises in the areas affected by the earthquake on May 27. "This is really an overwhelming human disaster. I'm pleased that Australia, as a friend, is able to play its own part in recovering from that," Farmer said.

Nearly 6,000 people were killed by the 5.9 Richer scale quake on May 27, while over 1.5 million people were made homeless.
