"We need blankets, food stuffs, drinks, heaters, toilet as well as food tissues and certainty of evacuation locations because post-quake impacts have begun to affect them," the embassy said in its website on Saturday night.
It said that all of the Indonesian citizens in the evacuation center in Sanjo remained in good health. "But the condition of the emergency toilets is no longer fixed for use. Now foods were only for senior citizens and children while water supply is limited," it said.
It was earlier reported that three teams from the embassy had arrived at the Sanjo evacuation site in Sendai on March 13, 2011.
They will provide assistance and protection for Indonesians affected by the earthquake and its subsequent tsunami on Friday.
A total of 28 persons were accommodated at the building of a junior higher school in Sanjo, Aoba-ku, Sendair-shi with Fatwa Ramdan as their contact person (+8180-3337-5369), or email:fatwaramdani@gmail.com.

In the meantime, a team from the Indonesian Dompet Dhuafa Humanitarian Organization has also arrived in Yamagata, one of the regions in Japan hit the hardest Friday`s tsunami, to help the tsunami disaster management authorities, an official said.
"The Dompet Dhuafa team, which comprises four persons, with its Indonesia Aid Program has arrived in Yamagata with food, milk, portable generators and fuel for affected residents," Director of the Purwakarta Dompet Duafa Arifin said here on Sunday.
According to him, the team, which has a branch office in Japan, was the first Indonesian humanitarian team to arrive in Japan to help the tsunami disaster management.
The temperature in Tokyo is now around minus three degrees Centigrade, and in Yamagata around nine degrees Centigrade, he said, adding that the team members should also take care of their own health and welfare.(*)
