Devastating floods in Aceh Tamiang, Indonesia, have displaced hundreds of thousands of people, affecting all 300,000 residents in the region as of December 11, 2025. The floods, exacerbated by widespread deforestation, have destroyed villages and left many families in makeshift shelters with limited aid. Aid distribution is challenging across North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Aceh province. Families struggle to meet basic needs, including healthcare, as many have lost their homes and possessions. The disaster has created dire conditions, particularly for vulnerable individuals like newborns, with concerns about health and sanitation growing among the displaced population.
