PETALING JAYA: The communities at 14 orang asli regroupment schemes are having trouble getting humanitarian aid because floodwaters have wiped out bridges and roads leading to their relief centre.

Many of the villagers have to walk up to 15 hours to reach the main collection point at Kampung Parik in Kuala Betis, Gua Musang, Kelantan.
