Personnel from Jakarta's Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base were seen loading at least three containers of supplies onto a Garuda Indonesia Airbus A330 aircraft.
The humanitarian aid package includes essential items like medical equipment, portable generators, solar cells, cooking utensils, blankets, and sleeping bags.
"Over a month has passed since the disaster, so the types of assistance we send have been adjusted accordingly," said Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Muhadjir Effendy on July 1.
The devastating landslide has claimed an estimated 670 lives and displaced over 1,250 people. Disaster management efforts are now focused on rehabilitation.
Effendy expressed hope that the aid provided by the Indonesian government would ease the pain and burden of the victims and their families.
