The aid was received directly by the Regent of Tanah Datar Eka Putra, at the Indojolito Batusangkar gazebo on Friday afternoon, July 5, 2024.

They provided Rp1 million to each of the 135 affected families. "We hope that those who have been affected by this disaster will find strength and patience," he Said.
Jalal said, you are not alone; many of your brothers and sisters, not only in Indonesia but also in Australia, are here to support you.
Insya Allah, each family will receive Rp1 million. Additionally, we are ready to assist children who have been displaced and are unable to attend school.
On the same occasion, the Chairman of the Yarsi University Foundation, Jurnalis Uddin, added that the foundation is prepared to support the education costs of children from affected families, from early childhood education to higher education.
