BANDA ACEH - The Aceh Disaster Emergency Response Post reported that flash floods and landslides that hit a number of areas in Aceh had caused several villages and hamlets to disappear.
"Based on data from the Aceh Community Empowerment and Gampong Office and the district DPMK, many settlements disappeared due to being swept away by flood and landslide currents, so that they can no longer be inhabited," said Aceh Disaster Emergency Response Post Spokesperson, Murthalamuddin, in Banda Aceh, Tuesday, January 6, reported by ANTARA.
From the data obtained, the affected villages and hamlets are spread across seven regencies, namely Aceh Tamiang, North Aceh, Nagan Raya, Central Aceh, Gayo Lues, South Aceh, and Pidie Jaya.
Murthala detailed, in Aceh Tamiang Regency, in the Sekerak District area, Lubuk Sidup Village, Sekumur, Tanjung Gelumpang, Sulum, and Baling Karang were reported to be gone because they were swept away by flood and landslides. All residents were forced to evacuate to safer places or to relatives' houses.
Then in North Aceh, in the Sawang and Langkahansatu sub-districts, the villages of Guci and the areas of Riseh Teungoh, Riseh Baroh, and Rayeuk Pungkie villages were also declared missing.
A similar condition occurred in Nagan Raya Regency, namely in Kuta Teungoh and Babah Suak Districts, where Beutong Ateuh Banggalang Village suffered severe damage to the point that most settlements were left.
In the Central Aceh region, in Ketol and Bintang Districts, Bintang Pupara and Kalasegi Villages were reported to have only a few houses with severe damage. The residents are currently still displaced.
Gayo Lues Regency is one of the areas with a fairly large number of affected people. A number of villages and hamlets in Pantan Cuaca, Blangkejeren, Tripe Jaya, and Putri Betung Districts were reported missing due to floods and landslides.
Meanwhile, in South Aceh, especially in Ketambe District, where one hamlet was declared missing. Meanwhile, in Pidie Jaya Regency, Meureudu District, one hamlet in Blang Awe Village also experienced the same condition.
Murthala said that due to this disaster, the village government in the affected areas could not carry out normal government activities because all village cadres had to evacuate with the community.
He emphasized that the Aceh government together with the district government continued to conduct further data collection and prepare handling steps.
"Including the relocation of residents and plans for temporary housing (huntara) and permanent housing (huntap) for people who have lost their homes," said Murthalamuddin.
