TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The BNPB (National Disaster Management Agency) reported the death toll due to floods and landslides in three provinces of Sumatra, Indonesia, until Sunday, December 7, 2025, has reached 916 people. This number is based on data from the Indonesia Disaster Data Geoportal owned by BNPB.

"Reaching 916 people," wrote the report from the Indonesia Disaster Data Geoportal on Sunday, December 7, 2025, in the morning.

According to this report, a total of 274 people were declared missing and 4,200 were injured. The disaster also caused damage to 105,900 houses, 1,300 public facilities, 199 health facilities, 697 educational facilities, 420 places of worship, 234 offices, and 405 bridges.

A total of 52 regencies/cities were affected by this disaster. The three areas with the highest number of refugees were 262,000 residents of Aceh Tamiang, 163,400 residents of Aceh Timur (East), and 115,000 residents of Aceh Utara (North).

Yesterday, BNPB reported that the death toll due to floods and landslides in three provinces of Sumatra until Saturday, December 6, 2025, had reached 914 people.

The Head of the Data, Information, and Disaster Communication Center of BNPB, Abdul Muhari, said that this latest finding was the result of operations coordinated by Basarnas and joint teams in the provinces of Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.

"Saturday, December 6, 2025, the total number of deaths was 914," said Abdul Muhari in a press conference broadcasted on the BNPB Indonesia YouTube channel on Saturday, December 6, 2025.

This figure increased by 47 deaths from the total of 867 deaths released the day before. Abdul stated that BNPB will continue to optimize and expedite search and rescue operations. "So that later, the list of missing victims can be minimized as much as possible."

The breakdown of the total death toll is as follows: Aceh Province 359, North Sumatra 329, and West Sumatra 226. In addition, BNPB also recorded 389 missing persons from a total of 3 provinces.

"Of course, these numbers are dynamic. There are several victims who were previously reported missing, but then in some places, they were declared or reported to be safe," he said. "Of course, we hope that this number continues to decrease, so that search and rescue operations can truly minimize the number of missing victims."
