TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto visited temporary shelters for victims of the Aceh floods following his Eid al-Fitr 1447 Hijri prayers. The President performed his prayers at the Darussalam Mosque in Simpang Empat Village, Karang Baru District, within the Aceh Tamiang Regency.

According to a live broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube channel, the Gerindra Party Chairman attended the congregational prayer until 8:00 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB). Dressed in a white koko shirt and a black peci cap, Prabowo departed the mosque after shaking hands with members of the local community and distributing essential supplies.

Located less than two kilometers from the mosque, the temporary shelter visited by the President currently houses approximately 600 families. Aceh Governor Muzakir Manaf, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya were among the officials accompanying Prabowo during the visit.

The President briefly entered one of the shelters to speak directly with residents, remaining at the site for roughly 30 minutes until 8:35 a.m. WIB.

This year, Prabowo marked the Eid al-Fitr holiday with a safari across Sumatra. On the eve of the holiday, Friday, March 20, 2026, the Head of State arrived in Medan, North Sumatra, to observe the takbiran night before departing for Aceh early Saturday morning.

Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya stated that Prabowo is scheduled to return to Jakarta on the first day of Eid. The President will host an open house at the Presidential Palace in Central Jakarta starting at 12:00 p.m. WIB, an event that is open to the general public. "It has a capacity of 5,000 people," Teddy noted.
