ACTNews, SUMEDANG - Survivors of the landslide in Sumedang are still living
in evacuation sites. They still direly depend on humanitarian aid to make ends
meet.
After previously
sending its volunteers to help evacuate the trapped residents, Aksi Cepat
Tanggap collaborated with J&T Express Indonesia to distribute meal packages
through the Humanity Food Truck. A total of 600 meal packages were handed out
to the evacuees at Parakan Muncang Housing Complex, Cimanggung, Sumedang
Regency where 513 people stay.
“This place is a
safe point for the residents. From here, it takes around 25 minutes on foot to
reach the disaster-hit location,” explained Trisna Adi Permana, ACT West Java
Branch Manager.
The Humanity
Food Truck came all the way from ACT’s Waqf Distribution Center in Gunung
Sindur of Bogor Regency. The truck arrived at the early hours of Tuesday and
immediately cooked delicious dishes for the landslide victims.
The cooking
process was led by two professional chefs. They cooked rice with several side
dishes such as stir-fried vegetables, chicken, and tofu. Masyarakat Relawan
Indonesia volunteers and local residents were also involved in the process of
cooking the best dishes for the landslide survivors," added Trisna.
Humanity Food
Truck is an Aksi Cepat Tanggap’s Humanitarian Vehicle that has been operating
since 2017. Currently, ACT has four Humanity Food Trucks.
In addition to
Sumedang, the Humanity Food Trucks have also been serving disaster survivors in
West Sulawesi and South Kalimantan. []
