In late November 2025, floods and landslides hit three provinces on Sumatra Island, namely Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.

The disaster resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths, 138 missing, and around 300,000 damaged homes.

The central government's handling of the Sumatra disaster was criticized by the public. According to a survey by Media Survei Nasional (Median), more Indonesians were dissatisfied with the response.

Taken together, the proportion of those dissatisfied and very dissatisfied reached 59%. Meanwhile, those satisfied and very satisfied accounted for 38.3%.

Here are the details of Indonesians' satisfaction with the central government's performance in handling the Sumatra disaster, according to the Median survey:

Very dissatisfied: 21.9%
Dissatisfied: 37.1%
Satisfied: 30.1%
Very satisfied: 8.2%
Don't know/no answer: 2.7%

Median explained that the main reasons for public dissatisfaction with the government's performance were its slow response (26.8%) and insufficient aid (10.4%).

Meanwhile, the main reasons for public satisfaction were the relatively good disaster response (16.1%) and comprehensive logistical aid (5.2%).

Median conducted this survey online from January 9-13, 2026, targeting 1,000 active social media users aged over 17 from across Indonesia. As a note, Median did not disclose the actual number of respondents.
