UVCCM TZ LEADERS VISIT RUFIJI TO OFFER SUPPORT AND COMFORT TO FLOOD VICTIMS

Leaders of the UVCCM TZ, the youth wing of Tanzania’s ruling party – CCM (The Revolutionary Party), recently visited Rufiji in the Coast region to offer their support and comfort to the people affected by the devastating floods caused by incessant rains in the country. The delegation, led by President Comrade Mohammed Kawaida, Vice-President Rehema Sombi Omary (MNEC) and Secretary-General Comrade Jokate Urban Mwegelo (MNEC), along with UVCCM officials, arrived in Rufiji with a mandate to provide relief and to inform the local community about the impact of the floods.

The floods, which have historically occurred in 1968, 1972, 1978, 1998, 2020 and 2024, began on 5 March and have affected a staggering 23,670 households. As a result, the government has set up four camps to house the flood victims, while some have sought refuge with relatives and friends. The situation has created an urgent need for humanitarian aid, prompting UVCCM leaders to take action.

During their visit, the UVCCM leaders distributed essential food items such as rice, oil and sugar to the affected families to meet their immediate needs and provide a sense of hope at this difficult time. In addition, the delegation engaged with the local community to understand the extent of the damage and to offer their support in the recovery efforts.

The devastating impact of the floods has highlighted the importance of solidarity and collective action in addressing the needs of the affected population. The UVCCM leaders’ visit to Rufiji not only demonstrates their commitment to serving the people, but also underscores the urgency of addressing the underlying issues that contribute to recurrent flooding in the region.

As the community grapples with the aftermath of the floods, the presence of the UVCCM leaders serves as a symbol of unity and compassion, reinforcing the message that no one should face adversity alone. Their efforts to provide relief and support to the flood victims reflect the core values of compassion and solidarity that are integral to CCM’s mission to uplift and empower the Tanzanian people.

The UVCCM leaders’ visit to Rufiji is a testament to their unwavering commitment to the well-being of the Tanzanian people. By reaching out to communities affected by the floods, they have exemplified the spirit of unity and compassion that is essential in times of crisis.

As the nation continues to grapple with the aftermath of the floods, the UVCCM’s commitment to providing relief and support serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring resilience and solidarity among the people of Tanzania.
