“We thank Jestham for his concern. This assistance is very beneficial for our residents. The Village Head stated that the village government remains committed to distributing aid swiftly and precisely.

Meanwhile, the Head of Medan Barat Sub-district, Maswan Harahap, emphasized that the sub-district office continues to monitor the affected locations and conduct cross-sector coordination to accelerate recovery.

“We will continue to be in the field. This flood situation requires collective attention and swift action. Assistance like this greatly helps the residents,” he said.

Hundreds of residents were seen queueing orderly to receive the morning meal packages before they were distributed to various affected neighborhoods. The activity concluded with a review of several flood points by the sub-district head, village head, their staff, and the volunteer team.

With this assistance, residents hope that more parties will be moved to help with post-flood recovery, especially regarding food needs and environmental cleanliness.
