As floodwaters begin to recede in Songkhla province, some communities have dried out, while others still face stagnant water. "Nation Shares Compassion to Aid Flood Victims", led by the Nation Foundation and Nation Group, partnered with the Southern Citizen Assistance Network and private-sector organisations to establish a relief kitchen and distribute food and survival kits to flood-affected residents.
On Sunday, the initiative, headed by Wichatorn Wongphan, deputy editor of Nation TV, joined forces with Nipon Boonyamanee, former deputy minister of interior, and Somyot Plaiduang, Democrat Party MP for Songkhla’s District 3 and deputy secretary general of the party.
The relief kitchen was set up at Wat Khok Saman Khun to support affected residents in the Southern region.
This marks the third consecutive day of providing meals and distributing 500 survival kits to flood victims in areas heavily impacted by the disaster. These include the Khlong Rabai Nam 1 community, located near a floodgate, and Khlong Hwa community, where water levels exceeded 1 metre. The efforts aim to bring relief to those most affected by the severe flooding.
Interested parties can help the campaign by donating to The Nation Foundation’s bank accounts No 333-0-01399-6 (Bank of Ayudhya) and 192-3-59782-0 (Kasikornbank).
