ACTNews, JAKARTA – Due to the massive and rapid spread of COVID-19,
healthcare workers in Indonesia have been working hard since the first cases of
COVID-19 were reported in early March. The Indonesian community has also been
actively showing support for the medical workers working at the forefront to
fight COVID-19.
Various parties
have been providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and food aid for the
healthcare workers, including Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT) who deployed its Humanity
Food Truck to distribute thousands of meal packages almost every day.
Ryan Andriana
Rachman, Humanity Food Truck Action Coordinator, said that from March 19 to
April 8, they have distributed 25,520 meal packages through the Free Food
Operation, targeting medical workers at several COVID-19 referral hospitals in
Greater Jakarta.
"The Humanity Food Truck program during COVID-19 emergency period focus on meeting the food needs of the medical workers. We have distributed 25,520 food packages in 33 distributions," explained Ryan, Wednesday (4/8).

The Humanity
Food Truck has distributed meal packages in dozens of referral hospitals throughout
Jakarta Metropolitan Area, including Persahabatan Hospital, Sulianti Saroso
Hospital, Cilandak Marine Hospital, Tarakan Hospital, Pelni Hospital, Fatmawati
Hospital, Harapan Kita Hospital, Pasar Minggu Hospital, Bekasi Regional Hospital,
Koja Regional Hospital, Cibinong Regional Hospital, and Gatot Subroto Regional
Hospital.
Various
recipients have thanked ACT for Humanity Food Truck’s meal distribution. One of
them is Sea Colonel (K) Dr. Hisnindarsyah SE M.Kes. MH. CFEM as Head of the
Marine Hospital Cilandak. The Humanity Food Truck was present to support Health
Workers at the Cilandak Marine Hospital on Thursday (3/26).
"Thank you
for the support given by ACT to the Cilandak Marine Hospital which happens to
be in the red zone. We hope that the good cooperation and care from ACT can
continue not only at the Marine Hospital. I am sure that ACT has been very
extraordinary as proven by its works, not just words," said Doctor Hisnindarsyah.
The meal
distribution is planned to continue until the end of COVID-19 emergency. Ryan
invited the benefactors to continue to support the Humanity Food Truck to
continue distributing meal packages more massively.
"We can do the
meal distribution thanks to the support of the benefactors. We also hope for
your support so that we can continue our actions. Hopefully, with your support,
we can continue to contribute until this pandemic ends," hoped Ryan. []
