The Korea Federation of Small and Medium Enterprises and the Foundation for Love of Small Enterprises announced on the 18th that they have provided emergency relief supplies, including 15,000 packs of instant rice, 500 boxes of bottled water, and 200 rolls of toilet paper, to help those affected by heavy rain.
The relief supplies were delivered to evacuation centers in the Chungcheong and Gwangju regions that suffered significant damage from the heavy rainfall. The Foundation for Love of Small Enterprises directly delivered them to the site, and some were distributed through partner organizations.
Kim Ki-moon, chairman of KBIZ, said, "We want to convey our hearts to the disaster victims who have lost their homes due to unexpected heavy rain and are having a hard time in evacuation shelters, so that they can return to their daily lives."
The foundation has been supporting disaster victims nationwide through a relief system in the event of natural disasters such as wildfires and flooding this year.
