‘Indonesia has prepared warships and ferries in case it needs to evacuate people affected by an acrid haze caused by illegal forest fires across the country.

“For now, the ships will be standing by. We will begin evacuation when there is an instruction from the government,” Navy Spokesman Muhammad Zainuddin told AFP on Saturday.

The Indonesian government sent ships to haze-affected provinces, including the two main central islands of Kalimantan and Sumatra to evacuate victims, especially children and women, if necessary.

For two months now, the toxic cloud has forced schools to close and scores of flights and some international events to be cancelled.’
