The British Tamils Forum called on Tamils in the UK to aid those suffering due to the severe floods in Chennai by donating to the public aid appeal initiated by the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
"We are devastated to learn of the unprecedented destruction brought about by floods in the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu including Chennai. Two weeks of non-stop torrential rain has created a humanitarian crisis with 269 people dead, more than 700 people critically injured and tens of thousands of people made homeless and displaced," the BTF said in a statement released on Thursday, adding that further rain was expected over coming days.
"We call on the British Tamils to donate funds using details provided below to help our fellow Tamils. All funds raised will be forwarded to the Chief Minister Public Relief Fund, Tamil Nadu to purchase and distribute food and emergency supplies to the displaced people."
"Please make donations quoting reference "TNFloods" to ensure your funds are immediately allocated to the relief efforts."
