A flood-relief caravan, launched on behalf of a charity foundation under HRH Princess Bajra Kitiyabha, has begun providing supplies and assistance to flood victims in four provinces including Bangkok.
The caravan of 45 military trucks, eight offroaders, 73 boats and six helicopters will provide medical and other assistance, along with checkups and 30,000 survival kits and relief supplies, at 10 select locations where access is still difficult on land transport. Speaking at a launch ceremony yesterday at the Public Health Ministry, Aphai Janthanajullaka, a deputy head of the Princess Pa Foundation, said the caravan, the second of its kind, would visit four heavily flood Nonthaburi districts, one tambon in Samut Sakhon, three districts in Pathum Thani, and Bangkok’s Thawee Watthana district.
