Acting (Plt) Head of BPBD North Aceh Regency, Murzani, said the three sub-districts that were hit by floods again were Matangkuli, East Pirak, and Stepan.

"The flood this time does not include a disaster emergency, because it does not affect community activities. There are also no residents who have been evacuated due to the flood," said Murzani, quoted by Antara, Sunday, November 21.

"The flood is also slowly starting to recede. The villages affected by the flood are in Matangkuli Subdistrict as many as six villages, Pirak Timu and Stepan Subdistricts are one village each," said Murzani.
