“So it is not unused, but a lot of the donor is not well classified. So what comes up is an accumulation of used clothes that actually creates new jobs and loads afterwards,” he explained to sukabumiupdate.com, Thursday (9/24/2020).
“In other words, in quotes, they only got on to throw away clothes that were no longer worn. Based on my personal experience, including the Pandeglang tsunami, landslides and flash floods in Cigudeg some time ago,” he added.
He said that this phenomenon did not only occur in the flash floods that hit Sukabumi some time ago. However, similar things have often happened in previous natural disasters.
“Various experiences in the field when natural disasters happen, the help of used clothing actually creates new problems, namely mountains of used clothing, which are in fact unfit for use,” he said.
“Well, like in Nyangkowek, when some volunteers were doing the sorting correctly, in the end only about 10 percent of the total was used. That’s not all in the video, not in the post or in other volunteers,” he said . Bang Gun.
