Kapanlagi.com - The heavy rain that has been pouring down in Landak Regency, West Kalimantan, has created a major flood disaster that has submerged nine districts. Not only that, landslides in several villages have worsened the situation. However, amidst this critical situation, the Landak Regency Government along with volunteers continues to strive to provide assistance and evacuate residents in hard-to-reach areas.
Behind the suffering that has struck, an inspiring story emerges from a fried food seller who continues to sell even though the floodwaters have reached adult chest height. With unwavering spirit, he continues to fry bananas, tempeh, and sempol, while buyers are willing to queue to enjoy warm fried snacks.
The flood that has been affecting since January 21, 2025, has forced thousands of residents to evacuate, but the atmosphere remains lively thanks to the presence of fried snacks that provide comfort amid the cold weather.
Even though the water has reached chest height for adults, a fried food seller in Landak Regency continues to serve his customers. Fried snacks like bananas, tempeh, and sempol have become favorite foods, especially in the cold weather due to the floods.
Citing a TikTok video by Aming Bangor, customers of the fried food vendor are queuing, showing how people continue to seek warmth in simple forms. The video showing the fried food seller keeping his stall open has received many comments from netizens.
“This is the definition of being open every day except doomsday,” commented a TikTok user named adz.
“Actually, if it’s flooding and you’re selling like this, it will be very popular because people are looking for food,” wrote a TikTok account owner named Aku siapa?
“Hi guys, this is me selling. Thank you to everyone. Please pray for us in Landak Regency. May the water recede soon and may we all stay healthy,” wrote the fried food seller through a TikTok account named Garasi Slow, Monday (27/1/2025).
According to reports from BPBD, the floods that have hit Landak Regency have affected the lives of around 36,030 people in nine sub-districts. Although some areas are beginning to show signs of receding, regions like Ngabang and Sebangki are still trapped in standing water.
The floods have not only submerged residents' homes but also cut off transportation access, forcing thousands of families to evacuate for safety. Moreover, several villages also face the threat of landslides, adding to the difficulties amid this disaster.
In the spirit of togetherness, various parties have quickly moved to provide assistance to the flood victims, as reported by Liputan6.com on Tuesday (28/1/2025). PTPN IV Regional V has also contributed, distributing basic necessities such as rice, cooking oil, and instant noodles to alleviate the burden on affected communities.
Acting Regent of Landak, Gutmen Nainggolan, expressed deep gratitude for the support flowing in from various sectors, which is very meaningful for those in need. In Ngabang Sub-district, a refugee post has been established, while the military, police, and local volunteers are working hand in hand in the evacuation efforts.
Although the distribution of logistics, including food, clothing, and safety equipment, continues, the urgent need for evacuation boats and life jackets remains a primary concern.
In the midst of the torrential floodwaters, a fried food vendor stands firm, becoming a symbol of resilience and the fighting spirit of the community. His story not only touches the heart but also reminds us of the importance of solidarity between the government, the private sector, and the community in facing disasters.
Although the challenges still lurk, hope for recovery continues to burn, showing that together we can overcome any obstacles.
Flooding in the area occurred due to heavy rains that showed no sign of stopping, compounded by the overflowing river that inundated residential areas.
Urgent needs include ready-to-eat food, clean water, clothing, evacuation boats, and safety equipment such as life jackets.
