Bali Bombing Update From MFAT
We have had
a report of a New Zealand man injured in one of the
explosions. The man's injuries were not serious, and he was
not admitted to hospital. We have no word of any other New
Zealand casualties.
Two staff from the New Zealand
embassy in Jakarta and a New Zealand Police officer are in
Bali continuing checks for New Zealand casualties.
New
Zealanders in Bali are advised to exercise extreme caution
and to contact family and friends in New Zealand to confirm
they are safe.
New Zealanders concerned about family and
friends in Kuta and Jimbaran should try to contact them
directly in the first instance. They can also call the
special Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade number: 0800
432 111 (from overseas +64 4 439 8401)
The Ministry has so
far received enquiries about 522 people, of whom 355 have
been confirmed alive and well.
