EGYPT: Displaced flood victims still waiting for aid
CAIRO, 25 January 2010 (IRIN) – Days after flash floods killed several people and forced hundreds of families out of their damaged homes in the Sinai Peninsula, government assistance is yet to arrive, survivors say.
“Our conditions are so desperate,” Nuweiga Gemeiaa, a local resident whose home was destroyed in the 18 January floods, told IRIN. “We sleep in the open, but the government hasn’t done anything effectual so far to give us either shelter or money to compensate [us] for what we’ve lost.”
