BANDA ACEH - The Pidie Jaya Regency Government (Pemkab), Aceh Province, has accelerated the construction of temporary housing (huntara). The target is that all refugees who are still living in tents can be moved to huntara before the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan 1447 Hijriah.
Pidie Jaya Regent Sibral Malasyi said that so far 215 huntara have been completed and are ready to be inhabited by disaster-affected communities.
"Meanwhile, other military units are being built in eight disaster-affected sub-districts in Pidie Jaya Regency. The target is that the construction of the military will be completed and the refugees can leave the tent before Ramadan," said Malasyi, Tuesday, January 20.
The statement was made by Pidie Jaya Regent Sibral Malasyi when accompanying the Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Suharyanto to review the construction of the huntara in Gampong Manyang Cut, Meureudu District, Pidie Jaya Regency.
The Regent said the government continued to intensify post-disaster recovery efforts through accelerated development and the delivery of temporary housing for affected communities.
"This step is part of a large, planned, measured, and equitable recovery strategy for people affected by the flash flood disaster in late November 2025," he said, quoted by Antara.
He emphasized that the provision of huntara was to ensure that people affected by disasters immediately left the unsuitable conditions of displacement, such as tents, meeting halls, schools, and places of worship.
Malasyi said that the huntara is a safer and more humane place to live while waiting for the construction of permanent housing (huntap).
"This is not just about building temporary housing, but ensuring that people can return to a decent, healthy, and dignified life after disasters," he said.
According to Sibral Malasyi, the existence of huntara provides real benefits for disaster victims, including improving security and health compared to living in tents.
In addition, it provides a more decent living space for families, allows the community to return to activities after the disaster, and organizes social and economic life, and is a clear transition solution towards permanent housing.
"We emphasize that all post-disaster recovery processes will continue to be monitored transparently and in accordance with regulations, prioritizing the interests of the community. Together we will rise, together we will recover," he concluded.
