On 15 August 2026, a magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Flores Island (East Nusa Tenggara, NTT), killing at least 47 people and injuring dozens. Hundreds of homes and public buildings were destroyed (157 homes heavily damaged). Beside NTT, Earthquake also hit communities in Simalungun (North Sumatra) and Parigi Moutong (Central Sulawesi). By delivering staple food packages, safe drinking water, emergency shelters, and health services, thi campaign will help prevent hunger and disease.
Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) said that until early next year Indonesia will experience heavy rainfall and extreme weather. This situation is exacerbated by El-Nino or La Nina, many people's sources of income such as rice fields and others are damaged by this weather. This has worsened the poverty rate in Indonesia. Ironically, these floods are also followed by landslides and other disasters that often come and go.
BAZNAS Disaster Response will immediately distribute aid to affected communities in the form of clothes, food packages, hygiene kits, clean water, medical assistance, counseling, and other assistance. BAZNAS will also set up tents and other emergency needs at the shelter location for flash flood survivors.
BAZNAS Indonesia always strives to prevent the impact of natural disasters from becoming greater. For this reason, BAZNAS, together with several related parties and stakeholders, work together to solve this problem. BAZNAS, through the livable house program will build damaged houses in disaster areas, in addition BAZNAS will also build economic independence for women disaster victims through BAZNAS microfinance coaching.
