teman kami di desa Kemili, kecamatan Bebesen, Aceh Tengah sampai saat ini belum menerima bantuan berupa apapun sementara stok makanan mulai menipis, bahkan di sana ada yang stok makanannya benar-benar habis.
For those who want a bit more context: parts of Sumatra, Indonesia have been hit by severe flooding and landslides, destroying homes, roads and bridges and basically leaving entire communities stranded without adequate resources. That’s why this reporter broke down.
And the reason Indonesians are angry is because the government still hasn’t declared this situation a national emergency, which means large scale state funding cannot be mobilised and responsibility is pushed onto already strained local governments.
But the craziest part is that on top of failing to properly assist civilians, the government is also rejecting aid and offers of help from overseas so how is any of this supposed to make sense?
Children are resilient. They only know how to play and that's why in every distress situation (even like in Gaza), they will always find a way to play. Fascinating power.
Urgent call to the international community: Please spread the news of the flash flood & landslide disaster in Sumatra which has killed thousands of people and displaced tens of thousands of residents. Global attention is needed so that our leaders act more quickly. Without international oversight, this disaster risks being ignored.@UN@UNDP@UNICEF@WHO@BBCWorld@cnni@Reuters@AJEnglish@AP@France24_en@dwnews@elonmusk
noticing that this reporter knows how to treat the children nicely. and that was also the thing i recognize when she cried desperately about children being hungry while reporting it last night on live. as a kindergarten teacher i'm sending my utmost respect for her❤️🙏
Even journalists couldn’t hold back their tears.
CNN Indonesia reporter Irine Wardani broke down while covering the Sumatra disaster, which has claimed at least 1,030 lives. Reporting live from Aceh with cameraman Urip Handoyo. 📍 Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia 🇮🇩
This is not an outdoor expedition
This is not a scene from a movie like The Hunger Games
This is real life
Flood victims in Aceh are forced to cross steep, dangerous terrain just to reach basic food aid and survive.
Their villages are completely isolated by floods and landslides
“Ini tiga provinsi dari 38 provinsi” is such a vile argument to address by a president in this situation.
If a PROVINCE is not even important for him, imagine how unimportant he sees one person.
Bismillah, aku minta doanya ya untuk semua yang sedang berjuang di sini. Selama ±1 minggu ini, listrik kami udah mati total. Di semua daerah udah gelap gulita. Air pdam kosong, genset di beberapa tempat juga mulai menyerah. Gatau selanjutnya gimana, semoga semuanya lekas membaik.
