Danantara Indonesia, BUMN Peduli Aid Earthquake Victims in NTT

Danantara Indonesia, in partnership with BUMN Peduli, has mobilized to provide aid to communities impacted by a recent earthquake in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). The support encompasses the restoration of essential services and the distribution of vital necessities to various affected locations.

Danantara Indonesia announced the initiative through an Instagram post, stating it was a "manifestation of care." The collaboration involves several state-owned enterprises (BUMN), including PT PLN (Persero) for electricity restoration, Telkom Indonesia for communication network recovery, and Bank Mandiri and PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk for distributing basic needs like food, medicine, and water.

The emergency response and post-disaster support efforts have reached multiple areas across Sikka, Ngada, and Manggarai regencies. These efforts include aid distribution to integrated posts, refugee areas, and health facilities.

This response highlights Danantara Indonesia's commitment to assisting and strengthening affected communities during and after the disaster. The initiative follows President Prabowo Subianto's earlier dispatch of 50,000 aid packages and his directive to relevant ministers and agencies for NTT's disaster management. The earthquake, a magnitude 7.7 tectonic event, caused significant damage, resulting in at least 47 deaths and displacing approximately 5,000 residents.
