RE: Don't Let Administrative Obstacles Hinder Aid for Flood Victims in Sumatra |
Yes!! Mapping of flood-affected areas and mitigation efforts are slow and unresponsive, as aid distributors are afraid and focused on avoiding legal repercussions. This is one of the main reasons why relevant parties/agencies prioritize administrative completeness, as if it were more important than the loss of life. Wow!
And I don't think they know where to start. The problem is, they can't access isolated locations, so where does the large amount of missing aid go? There's also news about "sunny-side-up" aid, where certain parties are collecting aid at the post and distributing it under their own names... allegedly to speed up distribution... Hmm... I don't know...
Sorry, kanda @ayijufridar, if this comment might digress from your interesting post 🙏🙏
Your comment is very relevant, thank you very much. It's not just government aid that's been hampered in its distribution to flood victims, but also assistance from the private sector.
We are grateful that many Indonesians still care about the victims by raising their own aid. Amidst the complicated bureaucracy of aid distribution, many influencers still have the compassion to raise funds for flood victims and distribute them directly to those on the ground.
You're welcome kanda!..
Alhamdulillah! We hope that humanitarian aid from various sources will continue to arrive, especially to areas that have been severely affected or untouched so far.
