JABAR - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) returned to visit the locations affected by the Cianjur earthquake. The head of state found that there were still earthquake victims who lacked tents and met the need for clean water.

"The lack of tents... There were also water complaints because there are indeed many points," said Jokowi in Cugenang District, Cianjur, West Java, Thursday, November 24.

Jokowi came back down directly after two days ago checking the handling of the earthquake emergency response process in Cianjur. This time, his visit is to ensure that logistics in the field are well distributed.

The head of state also checks food delivery, medicines and all kinds of logistics.
