Prabowo said that currently there are still several villages that are isolated because access to land routes was cut off after the disaster last week or at the end of November 2025. He said that the entire joint team was continuing to try to open access to the cut off routes.
On the other hand, Prabowo explained, TNI AL ships or KRI, Hercules planes and TNI helicopters had also been deployed to distribute logistical assistance to affected and isolated residents.
“Many routes are still cut off, but we are immediately making every effort to overcome the difficulties we are experiencing. Now with the fuel problem, our big ship has been able to dock in Sibolga, then we will continue to deploy Hercules, maybe every day several points can be landed,” he said.
After leaving North Sumatra, Prabowo said he would fly to visit the disaster site in the neighboring province, namely Aceh.
During this visit, Prabowo is scheduled to directly inspect field conditions, including the situation at points experiencing damage and disruption of basic services.
He will also see directly whether emergency measures have been implemented according to fast, precise and coordinated disaster management standards.
The death toll from the floods and landslides that hit North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh increased to a total of 442 people based on the latest data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) as of Sunday (30/11) afternoon.
