A Turkish aid group has reached out to Indonesians affected by severe floods and landslides, providing aid to the victims, the group said Tuesday.
The Istanbul-based Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) dispatched food aid, hygiene packages and kitchen tools to 3,000 people.
At least 66 people were killed and tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes after severe flooding and landslides struck the capital Jakarta over New Year.
A total of 169 areas across Indonesia were reported to have been inundated.
