Medical and humanitarian aid organisation Mercy Malaysia is reaching out to flood victims by providing aid like food and medicine.

"We have planned Mercy Malaysia’s Flood Relief operations since November and geared our resources towards the North-East Monsoon flood preparedness. However, last weekend’s flood disaster around the Klang Valley has caught the whole nation, including Mercy Malaysia, off-guard.
