After monsoon unleashed nature's fury and wreaked havoc in the state, many celebrities have come forward to provide aid to the flood-hit housed in relief camps.
Taking a cue from megastar Mammootty, actor Jayasurya has come forward to help people in relief camps. On Sunday, Jayasurya visited a few relief camps in Aluva and Ernakulam and donated essential commodities including rice.
“After 10-15 days, once the situation is normal, media will forget these people. It is then that they need help. I just made a little contribution,” he told Manorama News.
Mollywood celebrities are urging people to help those affected. Actors Vinayakan, Rima Kallingal, Prithviraj and Mohanlal took to their social media accounts to spread the word among their fans and followers.
Malayalam actress Manju Warrier too had visited relief camps in Kuttanad, one of the worst-affected in the torrential rain that wreaked havoc in the state. She had distributed fresh clothes and other materials to those affected.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned that heavy to very heavy rains were expected in 16 states, including Kerala.
According to the latest official figures, more than 60,000 people, including women, toddlers and senior citizens, have been lodged in relief camps across 14 districts.
