She said the number of recipients of the second-phase food assistance\nin 2026 in Sumur Batu Urban Village had decreased compared with the\nprevious period. However, a number of new beneficiary families have been\nadded to the recipient list based on updated data from the Ministry of\nSocial Affairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, many new beneficiary family data entries have been included\nto receive the second-phase food assistance according to the latest data\nfrom the Ministry of Social Affairs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The amount differs from the first-phase food assistance, which\nconsisted of 20 kilograms of rice and four litres of cooking oil.<\/p>\n
According to her, the official residence of the Sumur Batu\nsub-district head was chosen as the distribution location because it is\nsituated within a residential area, making it more accessible for aid\nrecipients.<\/p>\n
During the distribution, Sumur Batu Urban Village also urged\nrecipients not to use plastic bags when carrying the rice assistance.\nThe appeal is part of efforts to reduce the use of single-use plastics\nin public service activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have socialised with neighbourhood and community unit\nadministrators so that aid recipients bring goodie bags, not plastic,\u201d\nshe said.<\/p>\n
