Villagers in Kasavu are pleading with the government to provide some assistance following the floods, especially with the start of school next week.

Leba Luveniyali said the recent flooding caused a lot of damage to people's houses and crops and they are cleaning up around the village to prevent any outbreaks of diseases.

Luveniyali said any assistance will be a huge relief as most parents have their children's education to prepare for next week.
