Humanitarian Fighters Take ‘Final Flight’

By
· 4 minutes read

They lived a life of struggle on humanitarian missions. In their minds, humanity transcends boundaries, let alone identities. Now, they have taken their “final flight” from this world.

Zulhawary, 37, and dozens of other officers at the Central Java branch of the National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) could not hold back their tears upon bidding their final farewells to their four colleagues. In their hearts, these four always stood at the front line of many humanitarian missions.

Zulhawary, familiarly called Zul, had never imagined that he would be involved in evacuating the body of his close friend Maulana Affandi, 26. Zul and Affandi had worked together for almost seven years as spokespersons for the Central Java Basarnas. In addition to working together in various disaster and accident rescue operations, the two of them actively provided the most updated information to the media.
