JAKARTA - The fire tragedy of the Pertamina Plumpang Depot, Friday, March 3, has indeed passed. But that incident is still a sorrow for the Indonesian people. Especially for the victims and their families.

Based on data from the Health Office and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of DKI Jakarta Province, as of Wednesday, March 8, 19 people died. Meanwhile, 35 people are currently being treated by the medical team in nine hospitals.

Then the number of refugees is 256 people to date. They are spread over 3 locations with details of 157 people at the PMI Jakut Office, 19 people at RPTRA Rasella and 80 people at the RW 09 Refugee Command Post, Rawa Badak Selatan Village.

Social activist who is also the Chairman of the Terawulan Foundation, Diyan Setiyawati, assessed the impact of the Pertamina Plumpang Depot fire tragedy, there are still many things that must be considered, especially the certainty of the fate of the victims. The fate of his burning residence, his family who died, property and securities that caught fire to the loss of work.

"I am very concerned about the tragedy of this fire, especially this is not the first time this has happened. This is our homework together, not only Pertamina but all stakeholders to ensure how they and the surrounding residents are doing. This is a humanitarian problem that a solution must be found," said Diyan in his official statement, Friday, March 10.

Diyan said that when the Pertamina Depot caught fire, his party immediately called the coordinators of MSME activists assisted by the Terawulan Foundation in North Jakarta to help the victims as much as possible.

"As soon as I think what should be done first is to collect data directly on people affected by the fire. We first make sure how many people have died, how many have the economy destroyed, how many have been injured and so on. This is a very priority for us to take humanitarian steps rather than polemics about the relocation of affected residents or the Pertamina Depot," said Diyan.

According to Diyan, the government's efforts to ensure the recovery of victims' rights are very important and easy for the government to do. This is because you have an apparatus that can do it.

"BUMN Minister Erick Thohir must really understand how to solve this tragedy problem because he has the authority to do that. For example, he can assign ID SURVEY as the BUMN Holding BUMN Jasa Survey to collect data and so on. So let's complete this joint homework to help restore the basic rights of the victims," he explained.
