ACEH - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that the government has prepared enough funds for handling and recovery of disaster-affected areas in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.

President Prabowo also said that he did not prohibit other parties who wanted to provide assistance to disaster-affected people. This was conveyed by Prabowo when reviewing the construction of temporary housing (huntara) at the Bukit Rata Football Field, Aceh Tamiang Regency, Thursday, January 1.

President Prabowo emphasized that the government would not reject any assistance, as long as it was channeled according to the applicable mechanism. Prabowo said the government invited the Aceh, Minang, and Batak diaspora who wanted to help the people in their home areas.

Even those who sympathize and want to provide assistance are welcome. However, President Prabowo asked that the assistance be delivered officially and coordinated with the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).

The distribution mechanism will later be regulated by the local government. President Prabowo also emphasized that assistance can be distributed directly to affected people, as long as they coordinate with the government.

President Prabowo continued, the assistance must be given with sincere intentions without any interests.
