BAZNAS Scholarship awardees joined to become BAZNAS volunteer to distribute mineral water, medicines, toiletries, hygiene kits, foods and clothes to flood victims in Somang, Suka Rame and Suka Jaya Villages, Sajira District, Lebak Banten on Saturday (4/1).
The head of community unit said 14 houses were severely and moderately damaged, also 22 houses were swept away and even lost by a flash flood in Somang Village, Suka Rame Village, Sajira District. Meanwhile in Suka Jaya Village, 38 houses were heavily damaged. Apparently from these two villages, there were 100 houses that were washed away and damaged.
Floods that occured due to high intensity of rainfall had led the Ciburian River to overflow. Moreover, a landslide also caused flash floods to soaked residents' homes in Somang Village, Suka Rame and Suka Jaya Villages, Sajira District, Lebak Banten. BAZNAS volunteer team also helped to clean up local residential areas and clean the waterways so the water flow smoothly and could recede quickly, as the floodwater was still submerging the homes of local residents.
