Aceh has not yet recovered from the impact of the floods and landslides that struck at the end of November 2025.
According to data from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), as of December 12, 2025, approximately 773.6 thousand Aceh residents are still living in displacement camps.
Many Aceh residents are also suffering from post-disaster illnesses, while many healthcare facilities there are damaged and medical personnel are limited.
According to calculations by the Ministry of Health, Aceh Province currently needs 845 healthcare volunteers to support the operations of community health centers (puskesmas) and disaster displacement posts.
