Malaysian Red Cross Kuala Lumpur Flood Relief Through Bantuan Tabung Bencana

An estimated of 68, 341 victims and 18, 080 families had been evacuated from their homes and were placed in 396 temporary evacuation centres. This unexpected tragedy caused victims to lose their homes, belongings, and household equipment, as well as loved ones, in the blink of an eye.
