Following the recent floods and landslides that struck the Sorong City and District, West Papua Province, PT Austindo Nusantara Jaya Tbk (ANJ) participated in distributing basic food assistance for victims through ANJ's regional office located in South Sorong on Wednesday (24/8).

The assistance was handed over directly by Adji Shandy Maximillian, Procurement & Logistics Manager, as the representative of the ANJ Group to Karel Gifelem, Secretary of Sorong City at the flood and landslide disaster post at the Sorong Mayor's office.

“I would like to express my gratitude for the assistance provided by ANJ Group for victims directly affected by this disaster. We hope all elements of society will continue caring for people who were affected by disasters," said Karel Gifelem.  Karel also said that all aid would be distributed to public kitchens and five refugee camps that accommodate 2000 Sorong residents.

Gritje Fonataba, ANJ's Head of Government and Stakeholder Relations for the Papua region, hopes that the ANJ Group's assistance will be useful in easing the burden of flood victims in the City and District of Sorong.

“The flood disaster that struck the city of Sorong this time was unavoidable for our brothers and sisters who were directly affected and, in fact, also experienced by ANJ employees. We hope that the food assistance can help ease the burden of the flood victims. This basic food assistance is also distributed to ANJ employees directly affected by the disaster,” said Gritje.

The floods and landslides following heavy rains that hit the city of Sorong from Monday night (22/8) to Tuesday (23/8) have paralyzed the residents' activities.
