Ecological Disaster Strikes Pengidam Village - Indonesia

Portrait of Agus Syahputra, 30, a resident of Pengidam Village, Bandar Pusaka, Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, standing atop a 27-year-old palm tree that was uprooted after the flash flood triggered by Tropical Cyclone Senyar on December 19, 2025. Agus explained that the location was the remains of the village's public cemetery and a palm oil plantation that was now razed to the ground after previously being split off from Tamiang Hulu, which was adjacent to the river. Meanwhile, Agus was not yet aware of any permanent housing assistance (Huntap) from the Indonesian government. Photo by Aditya Sutanta/ABACAPRESS.COM

To date, the cyclone has claimed the lives of at least 1,167 people across Indonesia and more than 1,400 victims in three countries in the Asia-Pacific region, with losses estimated at US$19.8 billion.
