This footage was filmed and produced 18 October 2021.

These are the days of the Afghan refugees in Jakarta in October 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and the weather hit by La Nina. In Jakarta, the La Nina phenomenon for some time has caused flooding again, making many residents flee to safer family homes or public spaces.

In this video, a refugee family lives in a tent above a trench, near the UNHCR office in the Ravindo tower, Central Jakarta. They have lived in Indonesia on a sedentary basis for 3 years. In October 2021, Ali and his wife participated in the vaccination program at the University of Indonesia on Jl. Salemba, Central Jakarta. They got the Pfizer vaccine and no health complaints.

In other videos, about 700 refugees from Afghanistan and other countries, survive in the dilapidated former command building of the Indonesian National Army military district. They occupied a building that had been damaged a lot with limited water and electricity facilities. Unfortunately, the majority of the refugees have not yet been vaccinated. In early October 2021, UNHCR in collaboration with the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta held vaccinations in the Blok M metropolitan area, South Jakarta. This activity seems to be more used by foreign citizens in Jakarta, not refugees or immigrants. This is because Afghan refugees, for example, admit that they do not know and cannot go to the vaccine site because it is very far from where they have fled, and there are many restrictions on their travel. In one video, an Afghan woman washing rice in a refugee camp in a former military building confesses that she expects a vaccine from America.
