“The natural disaster had destroyed people’s homes and took away their belongings, so we hope our donation can provide immediate assistance and relief to help the community’s burden during this difficult time,” Kum said.

Kum said the company will continue coordinating with the disaster mitigation agency to provide additional relief efforts.

"On behalf of the Mimika government, I thank PT Freeport Indonesia for its quick response providing emergency assistance for Amar and Ayuka communities. May God bless PTFI for their generosity," Lossu said.

Lossu explained the emergency response focus is to distribute critical needs such as food and provide temporary shelter to the affected community.
