ISNU Aceh Regional Leadership Distributes Eid Aid Packages to Flood-Affected Recipients in Aceh Tamiang
The Aceh Regional Leadership of the Association of Nahdlatul Ulama Scholars (ISNU) distributed Eid aid packages to branch officials of ISNU in Aceh Tamiang District who were affected by flooding on Friday, 13 March 2026. The assistance comprised cash, essential goods, and other necessary supplies.
The distribution was conducted by Rahmad Syah Putra, Secretary of the ISNU Aceh Regional Leadership, alongside Arkin, Treasurer of the ISNU Aceh Regional Leadership. The aid was received directly by Muhammad Mabrur, Chairman of ISNU’s Aceh Tamiang Branch.
The event was also attended by Syauqi Fadhlil Khalid, Deputy Secretary of the ISNU Aceh Besar Branch, Muttaqin, Secretary of the ISNU Langsa City Branch, and Iskandar, Treasurer.
Rahmad stated that the assistance represented the organisation’s commitment to supporting ISNU officials in regions still experiencing the consequences of the disaster. “We hope this assistance can ease the burden on our brothers and sisters as we approach Eid, particularly for ISNU officials in Aceh Tamiang who are also among the affected community members,” Rahmad said in a statement.
He explained that direct field assessments at the location showed that many residents continue to face difficulties from the floods that struck several months earlier. “After observing conditions directly in Aceh Tamiang, many people still need support, both in terms of economic recovery and meeting basic needs. Therefore, solidarity from various parties remains essential,” he added.
Rahmad noted that since floods hit several areas of Aceh in late 2025, the ISNU Aceh Regional Leadership has undertaken various relief actions. These include distribution of Qur’an endowments, Iqra materials, and religious books to affected areas. ISNU Aceh has also provided assistance for orphaned children and helped pay university tuition fees for students affected by the floods through support from the ISNU National Board. Additionally, donations for flood survivors have been channelled through cooperation with Asar Humanity and Abcary Cendekia.
The organisation has also encouraged acceleration of economic recovery and infrastructure development in affected areas so that communities can resume normal activities.
Flash floods and landslides struck several areas in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra around 24 November 2025. More than 100 days after the disaster in mid-March 2026, thousands of residents in Aceh Tamiang and other affected areas remain in evacuation centres or temporary shelters.
