Aceh Utara, Hujan yang turun terus menerus sejak Rabu 03 Januari 2018 yang mengakibatkan meluapnya sungai Krueng Pirak, Krueng Pase dan Krueng Keureuto di Aceh Utara telah menimbulkan dampak besar bagi tiga Kecamatan di pedalaman Aceh Utara.

Tercatat 23 Gampong yang ada di Kecamatan Pirak Timu dan 49 Gampong di Kecamatan Matangkuli semuanya terendam banjir serta sebagian Gampong di Kecataman Paya Bakong juga mengalami hal yang sama, rata - rata pemukiman penduduk, sarana ibadah, sarana pendidikan, sawah dan kebun warga digenangi air setinggi 120 Cm, sebagaimana disampaikan warga Gampong Parang Sikureng Kecamatan Matangkuli, Jumadi Budiman, 04/01/18.

Sampai berita ini diturunkan, air masih terus naik dari tiga sungai yang meluap tersebut dan sebagian besar warga telah mengungsi di tenda-tenda pengungsian dan rumah keluarga terdekat, dan menurut Jumadi Budiman, sampai saat ini belum ada bantuan dari pihak pemerintah Kabupaten Aceh Utara terhadap korban banjir, walaupun begitu Wakil Bupati Aceh Utara Fauzi Yusuf (Sidom Peng) telah datang langsung ke lokasi banjir di Parang Sikureng - Kecamatan Matang Kuli.

Menurut Jumadi, jika hujan belum juga berhenti dan debit air sungai terus naik, maka Kecamatan Lhoksukon sebagai ibukota Kabupaten Aceh Utara juga akan menerima ekses dari banjir sebagaimana yang terjadi pada bulan Desember 2017 dimana sebagian besar Kecamatan Lhoksukon terendam banjir sebutnya.

Jumadi Menyampaikan harapannya agar pemerintah Kabupaten Aceh Utara segera dapat menanggulangi musibah banjir ini dengan memberikan bantuan tanggap darurat dan yang terpenting membangun sarana dan prasarana pencegah banjir disaat musim hujan seperti sekarang ini yang sudah merupakan tradisi dan langganan warga di Kecamatan Matangkuli, Pirak Timu, Paya Bakong dan Lhoksukon ini harapnya.
