National Disaster Management Agency (
BNPB
) said the joint team continues to strive to supply the needs of victims affected by flash floods and landslides in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra.In North Sumatra itself, food stocks are estimated to remain sufficient for the next week.
“Logistics for North Sumatra, we currently have three buffer stocks, at Soewondo Airport, Silangit Airport and at Pinangsori Airport,” said Head of BNPB Suharyanto in the Disaster Emergency Management Coordination Meeting which was broadcast online, Sunday (30/11).
“As of today, we are reporting food logistics for the basic needs of the affected communities if we still have it available in the next week,” he added.

Suharyanto explained that his party was still having problems with access to supply aid to several areas.Areas that are still isolated themselves were given assistance using air routes by deploying 6 helicopters and one Cessna aircraft.
He said logistics had begun to be distributed, although still in limited quantities.The distribution process, he said, is carried out continuously to accommodate the large number of affected people.
Suharyanto said that currently two KRIs had also departed from Jakarta for Sibolga to meet the logistical needs of flood victims.
“Perhaps people only saw one helicopter dropping around 900 kilograms, so when compared with the large population it looks still small,” he said.
“But if later the KRI can enter, hopefully it will be more conducive. If it leaves today, it means that tomorrow the KRI will arrive in Sibolga,” he added.
Meanwhile, logistical assistance for disaster victims in Aceh was collected at Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport.Suharyanto said that his party would also open a new distribution point at Lhokseumawe Airport.
Logistical needs are one of the problems experienced by Sumatran flood victims, especially those in areas that are still isolated.
One of the logistical problems was conveyed by a resident of Gayo Luwes Regency named Prayogi Sugiarto.He admitted that he was surviving on basic supplies at home and assistance from the Gayo Lues Regency Government, which would probably only be enough for the next 2 to 3 days.
“For now we still depend on stock prepared at home and provided by the district government, and that is limited. And in my opinion, the available stock will probably only last the next 2 to 3 days,” he said in an interview with hitclubapk3 Indonesia, Sunday (30/11).
Prayogi said that the Gayo Lues Regency area is currently still isolated and road access is completely cut off.Some areas that are very isolated include Pinding, Putri Betung and Tripe Jaya sub-districts.
Apart from access, he said the area’s electricity went out because there was no fuel supply for generator needs.Meanwhile, the internet network is completely down and communication needs rely on the Starlink satellite internet network whose equipment is supplied by the Regency Government.
He also claimed that no aid had come to his area apart from the district government.
“The internet network is completely down, we only rely on Starlink provided by the Regency Government, which is also very limited. The electricity went out because the fuel supply couldn’t come in. No aid has yet reached Gayo Lues, either by land or air,” he said.
Prayogi, who is currently in one of the refugee camps, said it was not yet clear when aid would come to his area.
Aid supplies to the area, he said, were experiencing difficulties because land access was cut off, both main roads and alternative routes.
“It is not yet clear when the aid will be available. But aid from the Gayo Lues Regency Government has been distributed, but it is limited because the land access road to Gayo Lues is cut off so basic commodities cannot enter Gayo Lues. The main road and alternative roads are also cut off,” he explained.
