0:00:19.729,0:00:22.952
His body temperature rose, he was [br]getting a fever.

0:00:26.586,0:00:31.000
His ears were burning hot.

0:00:36.259,0:00:42.837
He can't swallow any food, his appetite [br]is gone.

0:00:44.487,0:00:48.877
His parents suspect that worms caused it.

0:00:57.778,0:00:59.547
This is Jokbijoker village.

0:01:00.188,0:01:04.537
The villagers have already left to find [br]medicine in Bikar.

0:01:05.797,0:01:07.877
And this place has become deserted.

0:01:08.437,0:01:10.457
These are graves.

0:01:11.037,0:01:15.457
Victims of mass deaths from a suspicious [br]disease in the Jokbijoker village.

0:01:17.818,0:01:20.527
According to a report by a local NGO, [br]as many as 95 members of the

0:01:20.527,0:01:22.137
Karon tribe died due to an unknown [br]disease.

0:01:22.137,0:01:24.411
The Karon tribe is located in eight villages [br]in the Kwaroo district, Tambrauw regency,

0:01:24.411,0:01:25.561
West Papua Province.

0:01:41.884,0:01:45.685
<i>TAMBRAUW MOUNTAIN</i>

0:01:46.784,0:01:49.470
I have been working

0:01:49.470,0:01:54.370
to serve the House of God in this [br]remote area in Tambrauw since 1981.

0:02:01.708,0:02:08.859
During my time here, I have built up many [br]villages (permanent settlements)

0:02:14.349,0:02:30.250
Bikar, Orvefor, Suau, Sebab, Bakdhe, [br]Krisnos, Suau, Krafotsu.

0:02:30.250,0:02:33.710
Not seven, but eight villages.

0:02:40.183,0:02:45.653
In the case of the disease that [br]occurred in Jokbijoker

0:02:45.653,0:02:49.435
the sudden death of so many of the [br]Karon tribe members

0:02:50.745,0:02:57.564
we went to the Health Department [br]so many times.

0:02:58.094,0:03:04.527
But they did not respond, or didn't [br]care about us.

0:03:04.527,0:03:09.457
All the reports have been presented[br]to them.

0:03:21.356,0:03:24.496
If there are health issues

0:03:24.496,0:03:31.666
if some members from here or other [br]villages get sick

0:03:32.442,0:03:39.083
they bring them over to another village.

0:03:39.083,0:03:41.479
Usually to Werur.

0:03:42.499,0:03:47.704
They don't have a medical centre here, [br]not even the smallest kind.

0:03:48.218,0:03:52.442
Every time someone gets sick, they [br]bring that person to Werur.

0:03:52.442,0:03:54.573
To my house, to be exact.

0:03:58.631,0:04:02.233
<i>Where do you come from? You're walking [br]from your village to get here?</i>

0:04:02.233,0:04:10.747
<i>Yes, by walking. Four days from Kwor, and [br]three to five days from Mariane.</i>

0:04:12.482,0:04:16.408
Some of them became better [br]and returned to their villages.

0:04:16.408,0:04:19.285
But some also died in Werur village.

0:04:21.015,0:04:28.029
All this time, I have been buying some [br]medicine for them.

0:04:28.029,0:04:31.300
I'm using my church savings.

0:04:33.710,0:04:40.151
The government health officials visited [br]only once for a day in 2012.

0:04:45.721,0:04:50.583
Up until now, we have been waiting on [br]the Ministry of Health

0:04:51.623,0:04:56.237
and also on the West Papua Province.

0:04:56.237,0:05:00.977
They promised us, so we're waiting.

0:05:00.977,0:05:04.375
People are still waiting.

0:05:04.563,0:05:10.587
They said they want to establish several [br]small medical centres, one in Bakde

0:05:10.587,0:05:13.847
and one probably here.

0:05:13.847,0:05:18.088
They shouldn't just build small medical [br]centres

0:05:18.088,0:05:21.309
but also provide medical teams.
