CANBERRA, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- Australia is providing 150,000 Australian dollars (116,000 U.S. dollars) to help survivors of extensive flooding in and around the Indonesian capital of Jakarta.

    The move came after seasonal torrential rains affected all five districts of Jakarta with close to 200,000 people displaced.

    The government of Indonesia has reportedly confirmed that nine people have died.

    Australian Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs Greg Hunt announced Monday that Australia's contribution through the Indonesian Red Cross will provide for 5,000 emergency food parcels and 5,000 hygiene kits to be distributed in affected areas.

    Australia will also provide other high priority items such as drinking water and sleeping mats, he said.

    "The hygiene kits include buckets, soap, washing powder, dentalkits, plastic storage bags and towels," Hunt said in a statement.

    "Whilst strenuous inquiries have been made, to date no information has been received of any Australian casualties. The Australian Government will provide updates as more information comes to hand." he added.

    Hunt said the Australian government representatives in Jakarta are in contact with the government of Indonesia and relevant humanitarian agencies, and continue to monitor the situation.

    "Australia offers sincere condolences to the Government and people of Indonesia and stands ready to provide further assistance if required," Hunt said.
