Hoping that Jokowi Comes to Lack of Help, Five Facts Behind the Fate of Flood Victims in Kampar
BuletinDigital. Floods have soaked a number of areas in Kampar Regency, Riau, since Sunday. Heavy rain and the opening of five sluice gates in the Koto Panjang hydropower made the Kampar River overflow. At least 7 sub-districts were flooded with water from the river.
Residents were forced to flee and depend their lives on government assistance. Unfortunately, until now the assistance that came in was very minimal. One of them is the refugees in Terantang Village, Tambang District. The children in the evacuation tent only ate instant noodles mixed with white rice.
Floods in Kampar Regency have soaked a number of sub-districts, including Tambang, Siak Hulu, Kampar Kiri, Kampar Timur, Kampar Utara, Kampar, XIII Koto Kampar, and Rumbio Jaya. As a result, most residents were forced to flee, but not a few residents stayed at home.
They make a stage inside the house so they avoid flooding. One of the residents who survived was Nazir (44), a resident of Buluh Cina Village. "My family and I still stay at home. We make the stage inside the house, because the water level in the house is about one meter," Nazir admitted on Monday.
Besides Nazir, Jefrizal also chose to stay at home. "There are tents and public kitchens, sir. But far across there in Baru Village. From our village, the distance is about three kilometers across the river. There is no money to pay for the robin fee (boat engine)," he said.
Nazir explained, the flood victims had only received one time assistance from the government. "The basic food aid only came once. But it will run out anyway," he said. The same thing was expressed by Sabariah (51). He said, assistance from the government at the time was in the form of rice, cooking oil, instant noodles and chicken eggs.
At present the assistance is running low. Residents really need basic needs to survive when the floods still soak their villages. the floods in Buluh China Village were very severe. Houses and plantation residents have been submerged in water. Residents use the time to catch fish and sell it to survive. Some residents who work in the garden must give up their damaged gardens inundated.
As a result of the flooding that hit Terantang Village, Tambang Sub-District, Kampar District, Riau, on Saturday, the flood victims in the refugee camp had to survive with makeshift food. Food assistance from the government still does not meet their needs.
a number of children ate with white rice mixed with instant noodles in a house which was used as a flood post belonging to a resident named Azmi (30). "Forced to eat white rice with instant noodles. Aid from the government does not yet exist," said Eprita (37). The life of the flood victims is increasingly bitter. To eat, sometimes they catch fish at flood locations and also enter into the Kampar River.
Road access in many Kampar Districts is flooded. This makes it difficult for residents to get basic needs. So, to buy rice and other necessities, residents have to go to Lake Bingkuang Village which is near the crossing road between Riau and West Sumatra, which is about 15 kilometers away.
"To go to the lake, you can use robin (engine boat) owned by residents here. That's the cost of commuting to Rp. 400,000. Think twice if you want to buy rice there. If you go by land you can't because of flood roads," said Eprita.
Although there are stalls that sell rice in the village, he continued, the price is quite expensive. "Here (Terantang Village) there are those who sell rice, but the price is exorbitant. Rice, usually Rp. 115,000 per sack, is now Rp. 155,000. Because the rice stock in our village wants to run out," said Eprita.
Dozens of flood victims in Penyasawan Village, Kampar District, Kampar Regency, Riau, hope to be visited by President Joko Widodo. The desire came after they learned about the planned arrival of Jokowi to Pekanbaru on Saturday.
Information obtained, Jokowi has several agendas while in Pekanbaru. One of them is the awarding of the customary title "Datuk Seri Setia Amanah Negara" to Jokowi by the Riau Customary Institution (LAM). For this reason, residents who were evacuating at TK Aisyiyah on the roadside crossing Riau-West Sumatra (West Sumatra), hoped to be visited by the number one person in Indonesia. "We hope that Mr. Jokowi can see (see) us here, which has been flooded for almost a week," said Aini (26), one of the refugee victims
