Indonesia’s Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian said that the recovery progress will be measured by two key indicators: the reopening of government offices and the revival of local economic activity.
The floods and landslides that struck three provinces on Indonesia's Sumatra Island have caused damage to about 1,200 public facilities, as well as 219 health facilities, 581 educational establishments, 434 places for worship, 290 office buildings and 145 bridges.
Before continuing its ongoing 10th session on November 24, the National Assembly (NA) observed a minute’s silence in memory of those who lost their lives in recent storms and floods, and launched a fundraising campaign to support people in disaster-hit areas to overcome hardship.
