Gift of the Givers water tanker
Humanitarian aid organisation Gift of the Givers has distributed drinking water and aid to the residents of Elim as well as firefighters in the small Cape Agulhas town.
Fires in the town affected infrastructure, including electricity supply.
Gift of the Givers spokesperson Corbin Mckriling says they are also extending help to the nearby town of Stanford that’s also facing devastating fires.
“We were contacted by the mayor of Cape Agulhas Municipality for assistance here in Elim since the fire around Elim affected the water and electricity and as well they asked for assistance for fire fighters. We have clean drinking water for each house and unperishable food items also and then we have energy drinks and energy biscuits for the firefighters in the fields.”
