Incident - many killed - in West Papua: Second section of document about Incidents in Lani Jaya IV. Humanitarian Team set up in Lani Jaya Following the events in Lani Jaya on 28 July this year, people living in the districts of Pirime, Makki and Tiom were unable to tend their gardens and have therefore faced a serious lack of food. Because of the trauma and fear they have suffered, they are afraid to go to their gardens to gather food. Moreover, they have no shelter because their homes have been burnt down by the security forces. Apart from that, fighting between the security forces and the TPNPB has continued, with both sides shooting at each other which is extremely frightening for the population. Realising how difficult everything had become for the people, we decided to set up a humanitarian team to help the people. We have been helping the people with food and other basic necessities, making sure that assistance is given to both sides of the conflict. It is our firm intention to help all the victims. V. Our assistance is aimed at helping all those in Lani Jaya who have been the victims of acts of violence and human rights violations. We have also distributed food and clothing to people in several parts of the district of Lani Jaya. We did the following in pursuit of this objective: 1. We collected donations from various sources in the City of Wamena. 2. We collected donations from all the churches in Wamena. 3.
