TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Hydro-meteorological Disaster Response Post in Aceh has stated that a large-scale medical aid from Malaysia has arrived at Sultan Iskandar Muda Airport in Blangbintang, Aceh Besar Regency.
Information received at the Disaster Response Post in Banda Aceh last Sunday, as reported by Antara, mentioned that the large-scale medical aid from Malaysia arrived on Saturday at 19:00 local time.
The aid includes two tons of medicine and health equipment, totaling two million pieces. The aid was transported by a special cargo plane from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Gomez Medical Services and the humanitarian team from Blue Sky Rescue Malaysia facilitated the delivery of medicines and medical equipment.
The Hydro-meteorological Disaster Response Post in Aceh stated that this aid is the first international medical shipment to enter Aceh after Cyclone Senyar, which caused severe damage in various areas of Aceh since November 22, 2025.
Cyclone Senyar triggered extreme rainfall of more than 400 mm in two days, causing flash floods and major landslides in the Aceh region.
Previously, the Governor of Aceh, Muzakir Manaf, declared a state of emergency following hydro-meteorological disasters, including floods and landslides in almost the entire province.
The state of emergency is to last for 14 days, starting from November 28, 2025, until December 11, 2025.
The emergency status is expected to accelerate the mobilization of logistics, evacuations, and cross-agency support in response to the growing disaster in various areas of Aceh.
As of now, it is recorded that 47 people have died, 19 are missing, and tens of thousands of residents have been displaced.
