The Darul Mukhlisin Islamic Boarding School in Menang Gini Village, Aceh Tamiang, witnesses the ferocity of Tropical Cyclone Senyar, which strikes the Asia Pacific region, including Indonesia, on December 14, 2025, causing massive damage. According to data from the Indonesian National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), 1,016 people die in three provinces (Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra). The Search and Rescue Team (Basarnas) continues to search for 212 missing people, 36 of whom are in Aceh. This disaster is estimated to directly affect more than 3.3 million people, with a total of over 1 million people displaced across the three provinces. Tropical Cyclone Senyar and its associated storms make this disaster period one of the deadliest natural events in Southeast Asia in 2025. The cumulative death toll from Cyclone Senyar and associated storms (including in Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka) is estimated to exceed 2,370. This figure demonstrates the scale and severity of this climate disaster, which transcends national borders, necessitating regional cooperation in recovery efforts.
