Relief in the form of wet and dry food ration, adult clothing, bed Sheets and utensils were distributed in 10 worst hit districts including Chennai city.
Eager to meet the Government ‘s deadline for evacuating all relief camps by January 13, thousands of affected people have started to move back into their villages or staying in temporary shelter. In some cases, the movements worked out to World Vision’s advantages but most families are not ready to shift yet.
