0:44 - 0:49His parents suspect that worms caused it.

-
1:00 - 1:05The villagers have already left to find
medicine in Bikar. -
1:06 - 1:08And this place has become deserted.
-
1:09 - 1:10These are graves,
-
1:11 - 1:15victims of mass deaths from a suspicious
disease in the Jokbijoker village. -
1:18 - 1:22According to a report by a local NGO,

-
1:47 - 1:49I have been working,
-
1:51 - 1:56to serve the House of God in this
remote area in Tambrauw, -
1:56 - 2:00since 1981.
-
2:02 - 2:09During my time here, I have built up many
villages (permanent settlements) -
2:14 - 2:33Bikar, Orvefor, Suau, Sebab, Bakdhe,
Krisnos, Suau, Krafotsu. Not seven,
but eight villages. -
2:40 - 2:46In the case of the disease that
occurred in Jokbijoker -
2:46 - 2:49the sudden death of so many of the Karon tribe members,
-
2:51 - 2:57we went to the Health Department
so many times. -
2:58 - 3:05But they did not respond, or didn't
care about us. -
3:05 - 3:09All the reports have been presented
to them. -
3:21 - 3:24If there are health issues,
-
3:24 - 3:32if some members from here or other
villages get sick, -
3:32 - 3:39they bring them over to another village.
-
3:39 - 3:41Usually to Werur.
-
3:42 - 3:48They don't have a medical centre here,
not even the smallest kind. -
3:48 - 3:52Every time someone gets sick, they
bring that person to Werur -
3:52 - 3:54to my house, to be exact.
-
3:59 - 4:02Where do you come from? You're walking
from your village to get here? -
4:02 - 4:11Yes, by walking. Four days from Kwor, and
three to five days from Mariane. -
4:12 - 4:16Yeah, some of them became better
and returned to their villages. -
4:16 - 4:19But some also died in Werur village.
-
4:21 - 4:28All this time, I have been buying some
medicine for them. -
4:28 - 4:31I'm using my church savings.
-
4:34 - 4:40The government health officials visited
only once for a day in 2012. -
4:46 - 4:51Up until now, we have been waiting on
the Ministry of Health, -
4:52 - 4:56and also on the West Papua Province.
-
4:56 - 5:01They promised us, so we're waiting.
-
5:01 - 5:04People are still waiting.
-
5:05 - 5:13They said they want to establish several
small medical centres, one in Bakde and one probably here. -
5:14 - 5:18They shouldn't just build small medical centers,
-
5:18 - 5:21but also provide medical teams.
