Mandera — The Mandera County Government has intensified relief food distribution to thousands of locals displaced by floods and other vulnerable families to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.
Others who thanked the county government for the food distribution were Hawa Abdullahi Ibrahim and Lul Haji Hussein from Mandera Township, Ms Halima Ali Regiso and Asad Yayha Osman from Bulla Jamhuria and Khadija Guyo Ali and Halima Ahmed Ali from Shafshafey.
More than 8000 families affected by floods in Mandera are to benefit from the relief supplies from the county government.
Accordingly, we call upon the national government, Non-Governmental Organisations and all other development partners to provide support to the families living along the riverine areas as it rains heavily in the Ethiopian highlands leading to more floods downstream in our county," Mr Arai said.
The deputy governor thanked the Mombasa County Government led by Governor Ali Hassan Joho for dolling out 19.7 tons of assorted foodstuff to Mandera residents in support of flood victims.
