        "summary": "Flooding has submerged several areas in Rambutan Ward, Ciracas District, East Jakarta, since Saturday and continued into Sunday afternoon, preventing residents from travelling for Eid al-Fitr family gatherings. Local resident Herman reported that the water rose gradually after sunset and reached about 60 cm, entering homes, marking the third such incident in 2026 for the area prone to flooding even from brief rains. Ciracas Sub-District Head Panangaran Ritonga noted that nine neighbourhood units across multiple wards are affected with water levels of 50-75 cm, caused by overflow from the Cipinang River due to heavy upstream flow from Depok.",
