Relief centres operating across Selangor are experiencing a surge in the number of flood victims seeking shelter, with authorities reporting a significant rise in displaced persons over a 24-hour period.
According to the latest figures, the seven relief centres now provide temporary accommodation to 1,248 victims, up from 1,144 recorded the previous day. The increase of 104 displaced individuals reflects the ongoing impact of the flooding crisis affecting the state.
The deployment of multiple relief centres across Selangor represents a coordinated response to manage the humanitarian situation. Each facility is tasked with providing essential services including shelter, food, and medical assistance to those forced to evacuate their homes due to rising floodwaters.
The climbing numbers underscore the scale of the disaster affecting Selangor residents. Authorities have not yet indicated when conditions will stabilise or when evacuees may safely return to their homes.
Further updates on the flood situation and relief operations are expected as the crisis continues to develop.
