Islamic Relief is currently responding to the worst floods to have affected Malaysia for 30 years. In Kelantan – the worst affected state – our volunteers carried out a rapid assessment, enabling Islamic Relief to determine where our help is needed most. Our emergency response is initially focusing on Rantau Panjang, a town near the border with Thailand, which at present has little support from NGOs. Already, a convoy of three lorries has delivered essential aid items to the town. A further ten lorries as well as four vehicles suitable for difficult terrain, required to reach cut-off families, are due to arrive tomorrow. Islamic Relief Malaysia (IRM) – which was established in 2005 - also delivers development programmes designed to improve the lives of vulnerable people – continues to monitor the situation and to mobilise aid and relief efforts. bit.ly/13OI0yv
