The items were distributed mainly to children within the Nima community in Accra, which was one of the worst affected areas. Officials of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) assisted the team from De United Foods Industries in distributing the items to the beneficiaries who were still reeling from the disaster.
The country suffered a twin disaster of floods and fire explosion at a fuel station on the same night claiming over 150 lives and rendering thousands homeless, which was one of the worst in recent times.
The disaster left in its wake displaced people who do not have access to food, water and other basic necessities, compelling corporate organisations such as De United Foods Industries Ltd to donate the items.
The Training Manager of the De United Foods Industries limited, Benedicta Amesawu, sympathised with victims of the floods and urged them to put the past behind them and forge ahead.
She explained that the donation was deliberately targeted at children because they are more vulnerable, adding that giving the items to the children was a better guarantee that the right people would benefit from the relief items.
She urged other public-spirited organisations to also come to the aid of the flood victims.
The beneficiaries of the items were grateful to the company for the support and hoped that other institutions will come in to address other concerns.
Officials of NADMO said they had a registry of the flood victims and urged various organisations who wanted to support, to get in touch with them so that the items could get to those who were genuinely in need.
