Based on BNPB data recapitulation, Aceh Province is the region with the highest number of deaths, namely 472 people.Apart from that, 32 people were still declared missing, while the number of refugees reached 483,691 people.
In North Aceh, the number of victims who died increased significantly by 15 people.One additional victim also occurred in Bireuen Regency, one person in Southeast Aceh, and one person in Gayo Lues Regency.

Overall, BNPB recorded that the total number of missing victims due to floods and landslides in the three provinces reached 186 people, while the number of refugees was 510,528 people.However, the number of refugees decreased by around 16 thousand people as some residents began to return home to clean up their settlements.
Abdul said search and rescue operations were still being carried out on a limited but optimal basis, especially in the Aceh and West Sumatra regions.In Aceh, at least six districts are still the focus of searches to ensure that no more victims are buried in residential areas and affected areas.
Apart from that, the victim identification process continues to be intensified to ensure victim data by name and by address.This step is considered important for fulfilling the rights of heirs, including regarding temporary and permanent housing.
“For missing person data, we continue to update the three posts based on tiered reports, starting from the RT, RW, village and sub-district levels. We hope this process will be completed soon so we can enter the emergency transition stage,” he said.
BNPB ensures that the basic needs of refugees, especially food, continue to be met through public kitchens operating at a number of refugee camps.
