2:48Now PlayingSky’s Mark Stone is in the port city of Pasang Kayu, Indonesia where around 1,200 inmates have escaped from two prisons.
The UN estimates that 571,000 litres of water a day and food equalling about 401 million calories a day is needed in the country.
The UK confirmed that aircraft to provide relief to Indonesia will be sent from the Middle East in the form of an RAF 'A400M Atlas' plane which will assist with the aftermath of the recent earthquake and tsunami.
The government said five experts were already in the country helping to provide relief in Jakarta after an appeal from the Indonesian government.
Tom Howells, programme implementation director for Save the Children, said it is difficult for families to "maintain hygiene standards".
Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson said: "Britain stands united with Indonesia as they recover from this devastating tragedy. An RAF transport aircraft and her crew will provide vital supplies to those who are in desperate need.
"This shows that once again Britain and her allies across the global can depend on us to provide support and assistance no matter the time, no matter the place, and no matter the problem."
