Donations were sent to Medan (Belawan), Lhokseumawe, and Banda Aceh. Distribution was coordinated through the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI), Samudra University (UNSAM), as a partner of UPNVJ, and the Chairperson of the Indonesian Gayo Bireuen Entrepreneurs Association (HIPGABI) in Aceh to ensure proper targeting. The aid included suitable clothing, mud-clearing equipment such as shovels, brooms, and floor brushes, as well as baby supplies such as diapers and women's necessities such as sanitary napkins. Following UNSAM's request, UPNVJ added mosquito nets for evacuees to maintain their health during the evacuation.
