BATU PAHAT, March 24 – In response to the recent flooding in Batu Pahat, the Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA) swiftly mobilised its team to extend flood relief assistance to affected families seeking refuge at three Temporary Evacuation Centres (PPS). The relief distribution was carried out in collaboration with local village heads and the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) to ensure efficient and equitable allocation of assistance to those most in need.

Targeted Relief Distribution

The assistance was provided to flood-affected families across three PPS locations, benefiting a total of 48 families:

·         PPS Dewan Orang Ramai Tongkang Pecah – 25 families

·         PPS SK Seri Comel, Parit Sulong – 7 families

·         PPS Kampung Baharu, Senggarang – 16 families

Understanding the urgent needs of evacuees, MRA distributed essential hygiene kits and diapers, addressing immediate concerns for sanitation, personal care, and comfort. These relief supplies are critical in preventing health risks and ensuring basic hygiene is maintained, especially in crowded shelter conditions.

The distribution took place at 9:30 PM, ensuring prompt assistance for families grappling with the aftermath of the floods. Volunteers and response teams worked tirelessly to deliver aid efficiently, ensuring that no family was left behind.

Ongoing Commitment to Humanitarian Relief

MRA remains steadfast in its mission to provide timely and impactful humanitarian assistance during times of crisis. The organisation is closely monitoring the flood situation and stands ready to deploy additional aid should conditions worsen or more support be required.

As recovery efforts continue, MRA welcomes contributions from the public to sustain its relief operations. Donations and volunteer support play a vital role in ensuring that flood-affected families receive the assistance they need to rebuild their lives.
