Togetherness in Oksibil: A Papua Mother Shares Harvest, Task Force Operation Peace Cartenz Responds with Care

Pegunungan Bintang, March 8, 2025 – A heartwarming moment of unity and togetherness unfolded in Oksibil District, Pegunungan Bintang Regency, Papua Pegunungan.

With a warm smile, she handed over her farm produce to the officers on duty.

“This is an extraordinary act of love from the people. We feel accepted as part of them, and that means a lot to us,” he said.

As a token of appreciation, Task Force Operation Peace Cartenz 2025 personnel handed Mama Elliyah a box of instant noodles, symbolizing their gratitude and mutual care.
