EAST JAVA — Dompet Dhuafa East Java together with the Indonesia Siap Siaga to Alert worked together to distribute aid to communities affected by the Cold Lava Flood disaster in Lumajang on Saturday (22/7/2023).
This assistance was provided to ease the burden on the people affected by the disaster. The focus of assistance this time is food packages, toren, and clean water. Clean water supply becomes critical because the main water source is covered by flooded material.
With this basic food package, it is hoped that residents can meet their food needs in the midst of difficult post-disaster situations. Meanwhile, toren and clean water will help meet temporary water needs until the main water source can be reused.
