The family of former Indonesian dictator Suharto has donated $US108,108 to victims of the Java earthquake.
Antara news agency reports the cash donation was handed over by Mr Suharto's second-eldest daughter, Siti Hediati Hariyadi, to the Jakarta-appointed governor of Yogyakarta province, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X.
Three quarters of the donation was earmarked for victims in Yogyakarta province and the remaining quarter for Klaten district in Central Java province.
According to the report, the donation comes from the "Siti Hartinah Suharto" humanitarian foundation, named after Mr Suharto's wife, who died in April 1996.
Mr Suharto, 84, was released from hospital on Wednesday after three operations and nearly a month of treatment for stomach problems that had left him critically ill.
A corruption case against him was dropped earlier this month due to his deteriorating health.
But the attorney general's office has said it would instead file a civil case against him for allegedly embezzling millions of dollars from several charitable foundations.
Quake survivors suffer food poisoning
About 300 survivors of last weekend's earthquake in Indonesia have reportedly been taken to hospital with food poisoning after eating donated meals.
The national news agency Antara reports, the survivors in Klaten district in Central Java became sick after they ate rice dishes delivered to the area on Thursday.
The source of the donated rations is not immediately clear.
Meanwhile, Charlie Higgins, who is heading UN relief efforts on the ground, says he understands the death toll from the quake is stabilising around the figure of 6,000.
"It's particularly the injured and the homeless that we are concerned with," he said.
More than 46,000 people were injured in Saturday's 6.3-magnitude quake, which devastated large swathes of Indonesia's Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.
Mr Higgins says logistical problems with the distribution of aid supplies should be overcome in the next few days.
