The Federal Government has released relief materials mainly food and non-food items to flood victims in Anambra.
Mr Walson Ibarakumo, an Assistant Director in charge of Response and Rehabilitation, at the National Emergency Management Agency , said this after a closed-door meeting with officials of the Anambra Government in Awka on Thursday.
He said the food consignment had been trapped on the Lokoja axis where the flood had rendered the road impassable to vehicular traffic. Ibarakumo commended the Anambra government for their efforts so far in the response, rescue and intervention operations while expressing hope that the trapped materials would reach the state soon.
