JAKARTA - The Indonesian National Police (Polri) continues to provide food distribution assistance to victims of the Cianjur earthquake. Various means of transportation are used so that the aid can quickly reach the evacuation tent community.

However, for areas affected by the earthquake and difficult to access by car, the National Police sent assistance for earthquake victims using trail motorbikes.

Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, said that the distribution of aid for earthquake victims using trail motorbikes was carried out on Sunday, November 27. The two areas targeted were in Cugenang and Nagrak sub-districts.

"As many as 32 personnel and 32 trail motorcycles carry assistance for earthquake victims who are not reached by cars," said Inspector General Dedi in a written statement, Sunday, November 26.

Inspector General Dedi said that the release of aid distribution using a trail motorbike was carried out by the Deputy Chief of the West Java Police, Brigadier General Bariza Sulfi. The assistance brought was basic necessities, tents, blankets, bed mats and kitchen cooking utensils.

"The distribution team departed from the Cianjur Police and will go to remote areas where earthquake victims cannot be accessed by car," he said.

The distribution of aid, said Dedi, will continue to be carried out both by land and air. This is done so that all victims of the Cianjur earthquake can receive assistance.

"The National Police will continue to try to distribute aid to our brothers and sisters who are victims of the earthquake," he said.
