2.7-Year-Old Toddler Dies Buried in Aceh Tengah Landslide
Floodwaters still inundate homes, while landslide debris blocks national roads in Linge and Lut Tawar as damage is assessed.
A 2.7-year-old toddler, Kayla Faradisa, died after being buried in a landslide in Simpang Tiga Uning, Linge district, Aceh Tengah regency. A joint team found the victim on Sunday at about 11:47 WIB, about 500 meters from the landslide's starting point in a river channel, and evacuated the body to the nearest health center. The incident occurred as Kayla was traveling with her family along the Isaq-Pantan road on Saturday night. The landslide hit a location where warning signs had already been installed. According to a report from the Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Aceh, heavy rain since Saturday also triggered flooding and landslides in several villages in Linge and Lut Tawar districts. Water has yet to recede, while officials are still assessing the impact on residents.
