Hujan Deras Terus Menerus, Aceh Jaya Dilanda Banjir

Hujan deras yang mengguyur daerah Pantai Selatan Aceh dengan intensitas tinggi selama 3
hari terakhir mengakibatkan meluapnya sungai Krueng yang melintasi sembilan kecamatan di
kabupaten Aceh Jaya Provinsi Aceh. Ribuan rumah terendam air di Kecamatan Jaya,
Kecamatan Indra Raya, Kecamatan Sampo, Kecamatan Setia Bakti, Kecamatan Daru,
Kecamatan Sabee, Kecamatan Panga, Kecamatan Teunom dan Kecamatan Pasie.

Ketinggian air berkisar antara 1 cm sampai 2 meter. Sebagian besar warga terpaksa berpindah
ke lantai dua rumah mereka, namun masih ada yang tetap tinggal di rumah di beberapa
tempat di kecamatan Teunom dan Pasie Raya karena genangan airnya tidak terlalu tinggi.
Selain merendam rumah, banjir juga melumpuhkan aktivitas warga. Menurut pantauan
petugas Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah Aceh Jaya, Irfan Darli, hingga saat ini
belum ada korban jiwa dalam kejadian ini, sedangkan kerugian materil diperkirakan
mencapai ratusan juta rupiah. Bantuan telah diberikan melalui BPBD berupa beras, selimut
dan pakaian alakadarnya. Namun untuk penyalurannya masih belum terjangkau di dua
kecamatan yang mengalami banjir terparah, dengan ketinggian air mencapai 1,5-2 meter di
kecamatan Jaya dan Panga. Untuk itu, BPBD segera mempersiapkan perahu karet untuk
menyalurkan bantuan, juga mengevakuasi warga yang terjebak banjir.

“Pihak kami telah bergerak menyalurkan bantuan di situasi darurat banjir ini, namun akibat
keterbatasan stok dan ada daerah yang masih sulit dijangkau, belum semua bantuan dapat
didistrubusikan secara merata, namun kami akan berusaha menyalurkannya dalam waktu
secepatnya,” tandas Irfan Darli. Petugas BPBD juga siap siaga dalam merespon laporan
banjir di kabupaten Aceh Jaya mengingat hujan masih terus mengguyur.
