Pertamina Distributes Aid to Independent Posts for NTT Disaster Victims
PT Pertamina (Persero), through PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, continues to distribute aid for earthquake victims in Reok District, Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. In addition to channelling aid to the main posts in Barang Kalong and Golo Conggo, assistance is also being actively distributed to independent community posts scattered across several locations in Reok District.
VP Corporate Communication of Pertamina Patra Niaga, Kitty Andhora, said that the distribution of aid to independent community posts is intended to ensure that all disaster-affected residents receive assistance equitably.
“We want to ensure that all earthquake victims in Reok District have their basic needs met. Not only focusing on the main posts, the Pertamina Peduli team is actively moving to sweep independent posts established by residents on a self-help basis so that logistics distribution is precisely targeted,” said Kitty in a press release on Wednesday (26/8/2026).
As of Sunday (23/8), Pertamina Patra Niaga had distributed aid to 28 independent posts in Reok District. According to Kitty, the assistance provided to residents includes staple food items such as rice, instant noodles, and cooking oil, as well as infant necessities such as baby formula and nappies.
“We are committed to continuing to accompany and ensure that the basic needs of disaster-affected communities in Reok District are properly met. The distribution of logistical aid and baby-specific needs to independent posts is our focus so that post-disaster handling proceeds quickly, is precisely targeted, and is equitable until the recovery period ends,” said Kitty.
Pertamina Patra Niaga’s initiative to distribute aid to independent posts has been well received by disaster-affected residents. The head of RT 09 RW 04, Conggo Hamlet, Golo Sita, Reok District, Kamelus Leli Denga, expressed his joy at the care shown to his area.
