Heavy rainfall in central Indonesia, specifically on Java Island, has triggered a devastating landslide, leading to population displacements and widespread damage. The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) has reported that as of June 22nd, nearly 70 people have been displaced, more than 30 houses have been damaged, and a total of 128 individuals have been affected in Bunijaya village, located in West Java Province.
The continuous downpour has resulted in severe consequences, with the landslide causing significant destruction and displacing numerous residents from their homes. The affected area is grappling with the aftermath of this natural disaster, which has left many in dire need of assistance and support.
Looking ahead, meteorological forecasts indicate that moderate rainfall is expected to persist over western Java Island in the next 24 hours. The ongoing weather conditions pose further challenges and risks, potentially exacerbating the situation for the affected communities.
Authorities and relief organizations are working diligently to provide aid and relief to those affected by the landslide and subsequent flooding. Immediate attention is required to address the immediate needs of the displaced population and mitigate further damage caused by the rainfall.
