Military personnel, residents, and the Danantara team are seen during the recovery process of a destroyed bridge following devastating flash floods triggered by Tropical Cyclone Senyar, which destroyed key infrastructure along the Lubuk Sidup River in Sekerak Subdistrict, Aceh Tamiang District, Aceh, Indonesia. 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.

Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

On December 16, 2025, in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia. Activities of Indonesian National Army personnel in the recovery process following the catastrophic flash floods triggered by Tropical Cyclone Senyar. Amidst the ruins, survivors collect timber transported from the highlands—a grim harvest from the upstream Leuser Ecosystem. Rudi Putra, environmentalist and founder of the Leuser Conservation Forum (FKL), warns that this disaster is not an isolated event but a symptom of the "6th Extinction" phase. Analyzing the decadal climate cycle, Putra highlights a terrifying escalation: the scale of flood destruction is now a direct reflection of the vanishing "Heart of the World."
