Several flood victims in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, said they have yet to receive any aid even though floodwaters have swamped their homes for four days, tempointeraktif.com reported Friday.
Suwanto and Amirullah, residents in Gunung Lingai and Sidodadi villages of Samarinda, both said they had not received any assistance from regional authorities despite the difficulties they are having getting food.
Samarinda's assistant secretary for social welfare Diwansyah said his office had not disbursed supplies to two villages because the priority was getting rice to Temindung Permai village, the worst-hit area.
"We distributed 31.5 tons of rice to Temindung Permai village residents and we'll be channeling an additional 40 tons to victims in other villages," he said.
