"A technical team will meet with the provincial disaster management centre and the eThekwini Municipality to assess the areas of support by the United Nations Development System,” says Abdool.
“The United Nations in South Africa has been supporting the province following the floods in 2019 and the civil unrest of 2021 and will continue to support rebuilding efforts to ensure that no one is left behind."
