People losing purchasing capacity
Different parts of the country have been devastated by the recent floods. Crops and homestead are being damaged. The communication system across the country has also been destroyed severely. We appreciate the import of rice by the government. But the purchasing capacity of the flood-affected people has decreased and as such they are not being able to purchase rice or reconstruct their homes. They are also being deprived of basic needs. The government, non-government organisations, as well as individuals should come forward with food and money and help these people survive.
