Comments:
On 2 June 2008 a severe storm hit the area around Darsilameh village in the Western Region of Gambia. The storm caused damage to more than 15 compounds, affecting more than 300 persons in Darsilameh. Houses were destroyed, and the families therefore have no shelter. The Government (through the Governor of the Western Region) created a crisis committee to coordinate the provision of support and assistance. Gambia Red Cross Society (GRCS) volunteers from the Western Region branch assisted those affected to move belongings from their ruined houses, and carried out assessments. The Gambia Red Cross Society plans to distribute roofing kits to shelter 300 beneficiaries.
