Flood, food and people's purchasing capacity

Floods have devastated different parts of the country—damaging crops and homestead. The communication system across the country has also been damaged severely. We appreciate the import of rice by the government. But the purchasing capacity of the flood-affected people has decreased and as such they are not being able to purchase rice or reconstruct their homes. They are also being deprived of basic needs. The government, non-government organisations, as well as individuals should come forward with food and money and help these people survive.
