The 2024 Christmas National Committee distributed hundreds of aid packages for disaster survivors in Sukabumi Regency, West Java, which were centered by the Plantation Sports Building (GOR), Bantargadung District.

"The distribution of this assistance is a form of our concern over the disaster that occurred in Sukabumi Regency. We hope that this assistance can provide happiness and relieve the suffering of residents affected by the disaster," said the Chief Executive of Social Service Luky Agung Yusgiantoro in Sukabumi, Sunday.

According to him, the distribution of aid as well as social service has been since Saturday (14/12). In its implementation, the Ministry of Social Affairs is the coordinator in the distribution of the aid which aims to help ease the burden of landslide survivors in Sukabumi Regency.

The assistance distributed was 150 packages of basic necessities, 25 cartons of bottled drinking water (AMDK), 160 packages of rice for the distribution of public kitchens, 300 packages of children's education toys, 300 packages of children's nutrition, six disability aids, and 30 packages of nutrition for volunteers.

Luky hopes that this social service and distribution of aid can be an example for other ministries or institutions to work hand in hand to help people affected by the disaster.

He said the National Christmas Committee had carried out social services in three different locations, namely in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) precisely in Larantuka for victims affected by the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki, then Manado City and Bantargadung District, Sukabumi Regency.

"With the theme "Christmas Sharing Love in Togetherness, of course we want to share love and taste to increase the concern of inter-religious communities in Indonesia," he added.

Head of Bantargadung Sub-district, Acep Rusli, expressed his gratitude for the assistance so that the needs of residents, especially disaster survivors, could be met.
