Al-Imdaad Foundation addressing needs of flood affected areas
The Al-Imdaad Foundation is working in close co-ordination with eThekwini Disaster Management and other NGOs
Al-Imdaad Foundation water tankers have been servicing the needs of flood-affected communities in the greater Durban area since April 12.
The foundation has also been delivering five-litre bottled water in affected areas and delivering food aid assistance, as well as blankets, mattresses and hygiene kits for displaced families. During the recent flooding in KwaZulu-Natal, extensive infrastructure damages resulted in water shortages across various areas. As part of its ongoing response, the Al-Imdaad Foundation has been delivering daily water supplies in affected communities to address this critical need.

Between April 12 and 18, the tankers supplied water in Isipingo Beach, Isipingo Rail, Shallcross, Chatsworth, Mount Vernon, Mount Haven, Waterloo and Verulam. From April 19, the tankers operated in uMhlanga, uMdlothi, Tongaat, Cornubia, and the Zwelisha area in Phoenix.
On April 26, the tankers were dispatched to Hammarsdale, where many residents had been without water supply for almost two weeks.
Distributions of five-litre bottled water have also been conducted in many of these areas, and JoJo tank installations have taken place in strategic locations.
Food hampers
Food hamper distributions have taken place for flood-affected communities in Ndwedwe, Inanda, Phoenix, Verulam and other locations in the greater Durban area.
In addition, food aid, blankets, hygiene kits and mattresses have been delivered to displaced communities at various community halls across affected areas.
The Al-Imdaad Foundation remains committed to addressing the needs of affected communities and doing whatever it can to provide assistance at this difficult time.
