Only one third of the promised £1.95bn aid to Indonesia after the Boxing Day tsunami has been delivered, according to president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who yesterday urged the world to honour its pledges. The country's Aceh province was the region worst affected by the tragedy; about 135,000 people died. Mr Yudhoyono said that only about 6,000 of the 120,000 homes needed for the survivors had been built.
