Responding to the floods that have hit several parts of South Africa, the bishops’ relief service Caritas is appealing for donations to help those affected by the disaster.

Caritas is focusing its aid especially on Queenstown diocese, and is already on the ground in Komani to assist the victims. But, Caritas said, the organisation says it “cannot assist them alone”.

“Caritas South Africa is mobilising resources to assist the victims of Komani and other affected areas,” it said in its appeal.

“Caritas South Africa is the helping hand of the Church reaching out with love to the poor, vulnerable and excluded ones, regardless of their race or religion. We can accompany through the media many parts of South Africa where the heavy rains and floods have affected thousands of families leaving them homeless. Many have lost their lives,” the appeal said.
