For the past weeks, donors, stakeholders, humanitarian partners and individuals of good will have positively responded to President Lazarus Chakwera's call for support to people affected by Tropical Storm ANA.
DoDMA has facilitated a number of donations (both cash and in-kind) reaching out to the affected in 19 councils.
As the gesture continues, the Parliamentary Committee on Natural Resources and Climate Change has also donated MK500, 000 to go towards ANA response.
Chairperson of the committee, Werani Chilenga handed over a cheque to DoDMA offices at Capital Hill, Lilongwe.
Chilenga said the committee felt that it is part and parcel of the affected people.
"What we have provided is an initial donation. As a committee, we plan to visit the affected areas. We are also calling upon other well wishers to join us in contributing and alleviating the suffering of the affected people," said Chilenga.
Director of Disaster Response and Recovery Moses Chimphepo commended the committee for the kind gesture saying the donation will go a long way in assisting the affected people.
"We are procuring relief items which will be delivered to the affected people at a camp in Chikwawa District," said Chimphepo.
DoDMA will now and again be updating the general public on the relief assistance coming through it and councils.
