On January 10, the agency informed that a total of 22,500 flood victims in the state have received aid under Phase One of the LZS Peduli programme between December 28 and 31.
Applications for Phase Two of the LZS Peduli flood aid begin on January 1 until 2pm, January 31 for flood victims who could not do so before.
