Previously, Medan Mayor Rico Waas emphasized that humanitarian aid in the form of 30 tons of rice from the Red Crescent United Arab Emirates (UAE) was not rejected, but instead diverted its distribution through the Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC).
Rico explained that this step was taken so that aid could be distributed directly by the donor to the institution they had appointed.
“The aid has been distributed to MDMC as an NGO appointed by Red Crescent UAE,” said Rico, Friday (20/12).
Rico added that the diversion of distribution was carried out as a form of caution as well as the regional government’s commitment to transparency in the management of aid, especially that from abroad.
“We reiterate that this aid was not rejected, but transferred to MDMC. This is part of efforts to ensure that aid management runs according to provisions,” said Rico.
