Mr Seji Saji, Deputy Director General (Technical & Reforms) at NADMO, noted that some people are still in safe havens and the donated items will support them until their livelihoods and properties are fully restored.
He mentioned that the Ministry of Works and Housing is building resettlement facilities in some affected areas.

"We hope these buildings will be finished in the shortest possible time so those in the safe havens can be accommodated to resume their full lives," he said.
Mr Seji also highlighted that the Ministries of Food and Agriculture are providing seedlings and fertilizers to help restore livelihoods, with more interventions planned for complete recovery.
The team visited the safe havens, and NADMO distributed the donated items to the affected individuals.
