Jayapura, Papua (ANTARA) - The Central Papua provincial government has continued to distribute food assistance to communities in Agandugume and Lambewi in Puncak district, which are experiencing drought due to hail.
In a press release issued here on Friday, Central Papua acting governor Ribka Haluk said the food assistance includes rice, instant noodles, mineral water, sugar, coffee, tea, and other staple commodities.
"On Thursday (January 4, 2024), we distributed food using a Caravan aircraft so that it could arrive faster than through land routes," she said.
She informed that her side has been distributing food assistance since December 26, 2023.
The provincial government, she said, is also hoping to get assistance from other parties that want to help Puncak residents.
"We have prepared a special plane that can carry foodstuffs and arrive faster," Haluk added.

She explained that the residents' condition in the two sub-districts of Puncak has gradually improved, although they have not resumed their normal daily activities.
"In August 2023, we formed a team to overcome the drought due to hail," she said.
Extreme weather, including hail, has led to starvation in Agandugume and Lambewi, Puncak.
Earlier, the provincial government distributed social assistance worth Rp12.1 billion to empower people's economy in eight districts.
The province also formed a task force to handle stunting, control inflation, and erase extreme poverty in the region.
The government has committed to handling the drought and famine in Agandugume, Lambewi, and Oneri in Puncak district, Central Papua.
The dry winter season in the region has led to crop failure as well as shortages of food and clean water.

3) Improvement in legal sector needed in six Papuan provinces: KSP
January 4, 2024 17:31 GMT+700
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Main Expert Staff of the Presidential Staff Office (KSP) Theofransus Litaay assessed that six provinces in Papua Island need improvement in the legal sector to encourage political and security stability in the island.
Litaay evaluated that improvement in the legal sector is needed in several fields, including regional regulation, law enforcement, and quality legal education for the provinces of Papua, West Papua, Central Papua, Papua Pegunungan, South Papua, and Southwest Papua.
“The legal sector needs to be improved. The measure is (a form of) support from the legal sector for the preparation of quality regional regulations," he stated via video message on Thursday.
In this regard, he said, regional governments in the six Papuan provinces need to cooperate with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights through its regional offices in the process of creating regional regulations to ensure the results are of quality.
Litaay called for firm law enforcement against crimes in Papua, such as corruption, sexual violence, as well as violence against women and children.
“We must pay attention because some of the cases are still stuck. We need to pay serious attention to the issue because it is related to the protection of women and children’s rights that is part of human rights protection,” he remarked.
He also emphasized the importance of quality legal education in the six provinces of Papua that is carried out by encouraging the implementation of quality discussions on the law to develop in public spaces.
“We must pay more attention to domestic problems, such as theft of wood in the forest or illegal mining that damages the environment. Law enforcement is key here, and the perpetrators must be prosecuted," he remarked.
