Jakarta (B2B) - Pencarian korban tertimbun longsor di Dusun Jemblung, Kabupaten Banjarnegara dihentikan. Langkah tersebut didasari oleh kesepakatan dengan warga sebelumnya pada Minggu, 21 Desember 2014, pukul 12.00 WIB.
"Tim gabungan pada hari ini menemukan 2 korban tewas yaitu seorang ibu dan anaknya," kata Kepala Pusat Data Informasi dan Humas BNPB, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, dalam keterangan pers, Minggu 21 Desember 2014.
Sutopo mengatakan, total jumlah korban 95 tewas dan 13 orang dinyatakan hilang. Sementara, keluarga telah mengikhlaskan anggota keluarga yang belum ditemukan.
"Cuaca hujan, luas dan tebalnya timbunan longsor, dan ancaman longsor susulan menyebabkan pihak keluarga korban menyetujui penghentian pencarian korban," ujarnya.

Jumlah pengungsi yang tercatat sampai saat ini adalah 2.038 jiwa di empat kecamatan di Kabupaten Banjarnegara yaitu di Kecamatan Karangkobar (1.255 jiwa), Kecamatan Punggelan (613 jiwa), Kecamatan Banjarmangu (50 jiwa), dan Kecamatan Wanayasa (120 jiwa).
