The Singapore Red Cross (SRC) will donate $250,000 to five regional countries affected by recent adverse weather. The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS), Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia PMI), Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCD), Thai Red Cross (TRC) and Viet Nam Red Cross Society (VNRCS) will each receive $50,000 in support of urgent relief and recovery efforts, said the SRC on Monday (Dec 1). Severe monsoon rains, tropical storms and cyclones have caused widespread flooding and landslides across Southeast Asia and Sri Lanka, resulting in deaths, mass displacements, destruction of homes and severe damage to critical infrastructure. In Indonesia, continuous heavy rain since late November has triggered floods and landslides, cutting off major roads and causing fatalities. Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam are also grappling with widespread flooding and storm damage from persistent monsoon rains, overflowing rivers, and multiple typhoons.
