          Most of the victims died when the earthquake occurred as a result of being hit by collapsed houses and died while being treated.

          "The regency government has coordinated with BNPB regarding the addition of the data, so that there is no need to debate the difference in the latest data. The data on the death toll has also been reported to the Ministry of Social Affairs so that the families left behind will receive spiritual funds," he said.

Currently, there is only one batch, there are still two more batches, so the data collection must be complete, until the affected residents receive assistance," said Cianjur Regent Herman Suherman in Cianjur, Thursday.
