54 families in three Beluran villages trapped
SANDAKAN: Fifty-four families from three villages in Beluran were found trapped in their houses Thursday afternoon by floods following heavy rain on Wednesday.

Malaysia Civil Defence Force (APM) Sandakan chief officer, Lieutenant Ahmad Roslan Mohd Kamel, said of the total, 22 families were in Kampung Monsogit, 28 families in Kampung Dorom-Dorom and four families in Kampung Basinti Baru.

“The APM survey was conducted together with the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department, police and the Sabah Welfare Services Department this evening. We will commence delivery of food supplies to victims trapped in their homes tomorrow morning,” he said when contacted.

Ahmad Roslan said the victims were not evacuated to the temporary relief centre even though they were trapped in their homes because their houses were found to be safe to shelter but all roads were inaccessible due to flooding.- Bernama
