“Why isn’t it synchronized, if there are (increased) 10 people who died, there should be 10 missing. This is like we are saying that the data on missing victims does not have to be from data found in the field, but also additional identification data from victims who have previously been found,” he said.
“Then it is confirmed, for example, if it turns out that residents of district A have not moved to district B, we continue to find these dynamic things in the field, so identification defects can be done by name by address,” he continued.
Then, BNPB also noted that there was a decrease in the number of refugees from 654 thousand people to 624,670.However, Abdul said, his party would still carry out further checks regarding the number of refugees.
“We continue to confirm whether the reduction is actually returning to their respective homes or whether this reduction is a refugee status moving from centralized refugee camps to independent resettlement but still dependent on logistical supplies,” he said.
