Thousands, most of them women and their children, fought their way to get 6,000 packages of staple foodstuff (sembako) and Rp 40,000 cash gift at an open house, held to celebrate Idul Fitri holiday, hosted by the governor.
Two people, Satneh (38) and Dartin (50), had to be taken at Tarakan Hospital after the incident.
