BUTTERWORTH, March 5 – The Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) has spent RM615,000 for the supply of food to be sent to states that are currently affected by floods.
Its Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the food aid is still in the process of being delivered and it is hoped that it will be sufficient to meet the needs of the flood victims.
“We have spent RM615,000 for food stocks but are still insufficient because in Johor alone over 40,000 (flood victims) are affected, we also received a donation of RM50,000 from the National Welfare Foundation (YKN).
“Those who want to help flood victims can donate through the YKN,” she told reporters after a visit to Laman Wanita Tasek Gelugor, here today.
As of this morning, Bernama reported that the flood situation in several states has worsened with the number of victims placed in temporary relief centres nationwide rising to 48,989 people.
