With many seeking refuge in open fields too frightened to return indoors after the earthquakes, a Malaria outbreak has occurred on the island. With the wet season approaching it's feared the disease will be hard to contain.

Women and children are among the 128 people found to have been infected with malaria, Rahman Sahnan Putra, the chief of the West Lombok Health Agency, told Reuters by telephone.

"It's an extraordinary occurrence of malaria," Putra said, confirming that an emergency had been declared.
