BANDA ACEH - To support emergency response and recovery after flash floods and landslides in Aceh, PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) has sent humanitarian aid and volunteers.
"Alhamdulillah, Pupuk Indonesia can continue to provide assistance in stages," said Senior Vice President of Social and Environmental Responsibility (SVP TJSL) of Pupuk Indonesia Frans Ginting in Banda Aceh, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, December 20.
Pupuk Indonesia's support was dispatched through the Danantara Indonesia and BUMN Regulatory Agency (BP) collaboration assistance program. He said that the assistance sent by Pupuk Indonesia was in the form of 34 clean water tanks for Tamiang Regency and East Aceh, as well as 25 tanks to North Aceh.
Then, 50 volunteers and established a "BUMN Aceh Care Post" in Pade Ara WT Village, Woyla District, West Aceh Regency to support the acceleration of recovery.
"The Sumatra disaster, including in Aceh, indeed occurred at the end of November. But, based on BNPB data, until now there are still hundreds of thousands of people affected who need the help of many parties," he said.
Through this assistance, said Frans, Pupuk Indonesia wants to provide support to disaster-affected communities so that they do not feel alone in facing this disaster.
"None of us want a disaster to happen. Hopefully, Pupuk Indonesia's contribution can support the acceleration of recovery," he said. He hopes that the affected community will remain steadfast in facing this difficult situation, even though many have lost property and family members.
"We hope that the victims will remain strong. This assistance is a tangible form of concern and presence for the people of Sumatra in the face of disasters," said Frans Ginting.
For information, Danantara Indonesia together with BP BUMN has so far deployed 1,066 volunteers and support for 109 truck fleets carrying humanitarian aid to support handling and recovery after disasters, with Aceh as one of the priority initial distribution. On this occasion, Danantara Indonesia's Chief Operating Officer and Head of the BP BUMN Agency, Dony Oskaria, added that this activity was part of the consolidation of support for the BUMN Family in the Sumatra region.
Through this program, SOEs deploy cross-sector volunteers, logistical support, and operational resources to ensure that assistance reaches affected communities quickly, accurately, and according to the needs in the field. SOEs, he continued, belong to the Indonesian people. Therefore, whenever the community needs it, presence is not an option, but an obligation.
"Since the beginning of the disaster, we have emphasized that the presence of SOEs is not just a complement, but a form of responsibility as a state-owned enterprise," said Doni Oskaria.
