The aid has been distributed and received by local governments in all East Nusa Tenggara's districts on Flores Island. NTT Governor Melki Laka Lena explained that the assistance will be used for disaster management and to meet the needs of displaced individuals. Melki also expressed gratitude for East Flores Regency receiving aid despite not being directly affected by the earthquake, highlighting that the volcano eruption in the region has been ongoing for two years. The NTT Provincial Government is seeking community and business support to provide basic necessities such as food, drinks, blankets, and mattresses to disaster-affected residents, with the local government covering the costs of this assistance.",
