Governor Bobby Nasution aims to complete housing projects for disaster victims before Ramadan so they can be quickly reunited
The holy month of Ramadan 2026 is approaching. Families will fast together for a whole month.
The Governor of North Sumatra (Sumut), Muhammad Bobby Afif Nasution, hopes that the families of the victims can celebrate the holy month of Ramadan together.
Therefore, Governor Bobby Nasution is working to ensure that the victims of the floods and landslides in North Sumatra can quickly return home to fast with their families during Ramadan.
Accelerated Disaster Recovery in North Sumatra
Governor Bobby Nasution is committed to accelerating the recovery from the disaster in North Sumatra. This effort is aimed at ensuring that those still in evacuation centers receive housing and financial assistance as quickly as possible.
“Housing and financial assistance to accelerate repairs in our affected communities is our top priority. As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, it is crucial that people return home. For those whose homes are still classified as slightly or moderately damaged, the funds can now be disbursed; we have provided the data,” Bobby said in Jakarta.
Bobby revealed that the provincial government of North Sumatra, together with the district/municipal governments, has collected data on names and addresses as a basis for aid distribution. This data has been submitted to the central government and relevant agencies, including the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).
“The data has been submitted to the relevant ministries and the head of the BNPB, and we are now awaiting budget approval,” said Bobby.
Ahead of Ramadan: Food Supplies Secured in North Sumatra
Ahead of the holy month of Ramadan, Bobby ensured that food supplies in North Sumatra were secured, including for distribution to disaster-affected areas.
“Our supplies are secured, North Sumatra is safe, and supplies for distribution and deliveries to disaster-affected areas are also secured,” said Bobby. ***obs
