Manx Government Send Help To Flood Hit Countries

The Manx Government have pledged £75,000 to help charities hit by flooding in Pakistan and West Africa.

The Overseas Aid Committee are sending £40,000 to support charities in the devastated flood hit areas in Paksitan, where thousands of people have died and millions more have lost their homes.

The money will go towards fixing water systems and trucking clean water.

A further £35,000 is going to be given to Christian Aid in West Africa.

Approximately 60,000 people have been left homeless after storms there last month.

The Manx Government funding will help buy transport and distribute blankets and food to those affected.
