Minister of Homeland Security Donates Food Items to Tropical Cyclone Freddy Survivors in Blantyre

BLANTYRE, Malawi— Minister of Homeland Security Kenneth Zikhale Ng'oma has donated assorted food items worth K1 million to Tropical Cyclone Freddy survivors at Naotcha camp in Blantyre, writes Brenard Mwanza.

Speaking during the donation presentation on Thursday, Ng'oma expressed his commitment to supporting the survivors by sourcing various assorted items to assist them at the camp. He also pledged to donate cattle, maize, and rice to the camp next week.

"I have managed to source items to support Tropical Cyclone Freddy survivors here at Naotcha and I will continue supporting them until these people recover," Ng'oma said.

Furthermore, the minister urged other capable individuals to identify other camps where they can provide assistance to the survivors of tropical Cyclone Freddy.

GVH Chilobwe, who received the donation on behalf of the cyclone Freddy survivors at Naotcha camp, expressed gratitude to the minister for his humanity and his unforgettable gesture to the people of Chilobwe.

This is not the first time Ng'oma has shown his commitment to assisting those affected by Tropical Cyclone Freddy. Last month, he donated his monthly salary to grave diggers who prepared graves for the 28 people who died due to the cyclone in Chilobwe.

Ng'oma's donation to the survivors of tropical Cyclone Freddy comes as the government and humanitarian organizations continue their efforts to provide relief to those affected by the disaster.

The cyclone, which struck the region with devastating impact, has left many families displaced and in need of assistance.

According to recent reports, the survivors at Naotcha camp have been facing challenges accessing basic necessities such as food, clean water, and shelter.

The donation from Minister Ng'oma is expected to provide some relief and support to the affected individuals as they continue to recover from the aftermath of the cyclone.
