In Aceh Tamiang, Muhammad Hafidz, a 20-day-old infant, faces significant challenges amid the aftermath of devastating floods that have displaced hundreds of thousands. Local authorities report that all 300,000 residents in the area have been affected. Muhammad was in the neonatal intensive care unit when floodwaters inundated the facility, forcing his family to evacuate to the second floor, where they remained alongside several deceased individuals. After leaving the hospital, the family moved to a makeshift shelter and recently received a tent. However, aid distribution across North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Aceh province remains complicated, leaving many families without proper housing. Muhammad’s mother, Lia Minarti, emphasizes the dire situation, noting the extreme heat in the tent and her concerns about her newborn’s breathing difficulties due to environmental conditions. The family is now without a home and has no choice but to remain in the temporary shelter, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
