The Governor of Aceh Muzakir Manaf or Mualem directly delivered emergency response assistance by air to two regencies that were still isolated due to floods and landslides, namely East Aceh and Bener Meriah Regencies.
"Today's visit is to deliver the existing assistance first, later in the future there will be more," said Mualem as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, December 2.
On this mission, Mualem flew using a helicopter belonging to the TNI from Malikussaleh Airport, North Aceh to Lokop, Serbajadi District, East Aceh. The area cannot be reached by land route.
After returning to Malikussaleh, Mualem then continued his flight by Indonesian Navy to Rembele Airport, Bener Meriah Regency. On that flight he carried 1.2 tons of basic necessities for affected communities.
Mualem emphasized that accelerating the opening of land access is a top priority so that assistance can reach a wider area and community activities return to normal.
"I have asked the Aceh PUPR so that as soon as possible access to the middle of Aceh can be opened. First, maybe a lighter one first, namely the KKA Intersection, Bener Meriah or through Bireuen. What is clear is that we are still trying to quickly restore the road," he said.
In addition to roads, he continued, the government continues to seek electricity recovery in the central region of Aceh and fuel oil supplies. He has prepared fuel specifically for heavy equipment that is working in landslides in order to open access to the Aceh highlands.
BBM tadi ada tiga ton untuk alat berat yang bekerja membuka jalan darat yang masih longsor. Logistik juga segera kita upayakan," katanya.
He added that the development of Aceh's condition due to the disaster had been reported directly to the President through the Minister of State Secretary.
"We hope that central support will continue to flow to accelerate the recovery of affected areas," said Mualem.
