MFAT Bali Bombing Update Afternoon 3 October
The Ministry 0800 number has so far received enquiries about 550 people, of whom 410 have been confirmed alive and well.
New Zealanders concerned about family and friends in Kuta and Jimbaran should try to contact them directly in the first
instance.
Two staff from the New Zealand embassy in Jakarta and a New Zealand Police officer are in Bali continuing checks for New
Zealand casualties.
New Zealanders in Bali are advised to exercise extreme caution and to contact family and friends in New Zealand to
confirm they are safe.
We have had a report of a New Zealand man injured in one of the explosions. The man's injuries were not serious, and he
was not admitted to hospital. We have no word of any other New Zealand casualties.
The next update will be tomorrow.
