“We heard that some people already start relocating from the area that is affected which is expected because once you have water in people’s place that’s the first thing they are going to do, they are going to relocate.”
“They started being affected yesterday, the assessment will be done today to see what need of food is needed because the food items are moving from Georgetown into that area. We have to look at the most vulnerable and make the assessment from there so that is the importance of getting the team in there immediately so relief can be sent,” Benons explained.
