TOPSHOT - People hold Free Aceh Movement (GAM) flags while escorting humanitarian aid, meant for survivors of the recent devastating floods in Sumatra, in Bireuen, Aceh Province on December 25, 2025. Despite the efforts by the Indonesian government, frustration is mounting over sluggish relief efforts which has fuelled demands on Jakarta to declare a national disaster and permit international assistance into affected areas. The provincial government in Aceh said it had already turned to several United Nations agencies for help, citing their previous aid campaigns in the wake of the 2004 tsunami.
