Several flood victims were evacuated to higher ground, Yusrizal, the head of the Binjai disaster mitigation office, remarked here, Wednesday.
The military and police personnel have helped to evacuate the flood victims.
Two houses were swept away by the floods. The Sei Mencirim village in East Binjai and Setia village in Binjai City were among the worst flood-hit areas.
Junaidi, a flood victim, appealed to the government to send relief aid, such as food and clothing, particularly for infants and children, as most of the flood victims did not have the opportunity to save their belongings when the flash floods struck their homes.(*)
