Topriatan, Indonesia ? Survivors just a few miles from aid centers said Thursday they’re still waiting for food, five days after a killer earthquake shattered their homes.

An international aid effort sped up in recent days, and the region’s biggest city, Yogyakarta, became the main aid dispersal point after its airport and main roads were repaired.

But international relief teams have yet to reach some areas, and aid delivery is sporadic in others, villagers and officials said. The death toll from Saturday’s quake rose to more than 6,200, based on reports from outlying areas.

“I don’t know why no one has come yet,” said Jemingin, an elder of Topriatan township, where just a few homes were left standing after the quake. “We’re not far from the city but it seems we’re being ignored.”

The village of 140 people, most of whom are now living under tarps to keep off tropical rains, is just nine miles from Yogyakarta but has received only one bag of rice from a private donor, he said.

Residents have been eating rice scrounged from the rubble as well as tapioca, papayas and other fruit that grows in the rich volcanic soil of Java island.

“We’re going to run out. That is for sure. By tomorrow or Saturday, we will be hungry,” said the 46-year-old Jemingin, who like many Indonesians uses one name.

U.N. spokeswoman Amanda Pitt said aid was getting to most areas.

“Generally speaking, things are improving,” she said, adding when asked about survivors’ complaints, “If you’ve lost your house, its always a desperate situation.”

Aid workers have poured into the region, scrambling to provide shelter, food and health care to the nearly 650,000 displaced people.

International relief teams had yet to reach remote areas of Indonesia's quake-zone Thursday, where newly reported deaths from last weekend's disaster raised the toll to more than 6,200, officials said.With more than a half-million others displaced, aid workers who have poured into the region were scrambling to provide adequate shelter, food and access to health care.

Many villagers complain they are not getting the help they need. Some searched in the rain for scraps of tin and other materials to rebuild homes, while others blocked traffic to beg for money.

“We are forced to do this because the only aid we’ve received is a bit of food and some cooking oil,” said Ribut Setyo Pambudi, 17, after stopping a bus. “We don’t have any money to rebuild, to buy gasoline or even to go out to try to find work.”

Others put flower pots and trash cans on streets to slow traffic and beg for donations.

The death toll rose to 6,234 after officials reported 388 more bodies in remote corners of Bantul, said Andi Hanindito, an official at the Social Affairs Ministry.

“We are getting information from areas that were previously inaccessible,” he said, adding that phone lines had been restored and many damaged roads and bridges have been repaired.
