The BANDA ACEH - Eight gampongs (villages) from two sub-districts in Aceh Jaya Regency were flooded due to heavy rains that flushed the area since this afternoon.
"Water rose at around 17.00 WIB, causing inundation on roads and community settlements," said Head of BPBK Aceh Jaya Fajri as quoted by ANTARA, Saturday, May 6.
Fajri said that residents' settlements began to be flooded around 19.00 WIB. As for the impact of the flood, it makes it difficult for people to isolate and carry out their daily activities.
"Because this road is the only access for people to carry out activities," he said.
Fajri said the flood occurred because of the overflow of the Krueng Masen river in Darul Hikmah District and other drainage channels.
