00:03 Yahukimo Regency, Didimus Yahuli, affirmed
00:06 that there was no famine in Amuma District,
00:09 Yahukimo Regency, Papua, Pegunungan.
00:11 This affirmation is also to deny the news
00:15 that there were famine victims who died
00:17 as many as 22 people
00:19 in the February period until October 2023.
00:22 In a video received by the Antara news agency
00:26 on Thursday night, October 26,
00:28 Didimus said that Amuma District,
00:30 in the central part of Yahukimo,
00:32 was indeed hit by a lack of food
00:34 due to climate change,
00:36 so it failed to harvest.
00:38 However, the government of the regency
00:40 has urged social services and health services
00:42 to distribute 4 tons of food
00:44 and medicines on a routine basis.
00:46 I firmly as the head of the region here
00:51 state that in Amuma,
00:54 people died not because of hunger.
00:58 But because of a common illness
01:01 and in an interval of 8 months.
01:03 This is clear.
01:05 It doesn't mean they are hungry.
01:08 But they need more time to make a farm.
01:11 To anticipate that,
01:13 we have rice from the food storage.
01:17 Every 3 months, every 6 months,
01:20 we give rice.
01:22 Didimus Regency regrets
01:24 that there is no report of the condition
01:26 of Amuma by the district head
01:28 and the head of the regional health service.
01:30 However, he allowed the disaster
01:32 to happen in the village of Yaho 5,
01:34 Anggruk District, on October 2.
01:36 There were no casualties in this disaster.
01:39 But 36 houses owned by the residents were damaged.
01:42 The aid distributed by the government
01:44 of Yahukimo regency
01:46 includes aid from the Ministry of Social Affairs,
01:48 in the form of food, clothing,
