CIANJUR, WEST JAVA — Dompet Dhuafa together with inDriver distributed 638 logistical assistance packages for earthquake survivors in Cianjur, on Wednesday (30/11/2022). For three consecutive days (28–30/11/2022), the distribution was massively intensified by the Dompet Dhuafa Disaster Management Center (DMC) team.
As one of the companies engaged in online transportation services, DMC also invites inDrive volunteer partners to jump directly to the affected location points. They witnessed the damaged houses and affected souls who had to evacuate to places with tarpaulins, with access and facilities that were not as good as usual.
In fact, they also felt directly the aftershock that occurred at 16:05, followed by a rumbling sound, on Monday (28/11/2022).
“You can go out for a while,” said one inDriver volunteer as he urged survivors to stay away from buildings at the time.
The distribution points include Tanjakan Village, Padaluyu Village, Cugenang District; Raweuy Village, Mekarsari Village, Cianjur District; and Gandaria Village, Rancagoong Village, Cilaku District and many more.
“It is heartbreaking to witness the impact of the disaster and how it will affect the lives of the people of Cianjur. We believe any help will be helpful, especially in this situation. We hope that the distribution of the logistics assistance package can provide a little relief for earthquake victims,” said Georgy Malkov, Country Manager of inDriver, in a short message on Wednesday (30/11/2022).
Mr. Uwe, one of the survivors in Tanjakan Village, Padaluyu Village, Cugenang District, expressed his gratitude for the assistance he received. “Thank you for your help. We are very grateful and very helpful,” he explained.
