Hundreds of thousands of people have no roof over their heads and are lacking every day basic requirements including food, water, clothes, medicine, blankets etc. Dead bodies need to be cleared in order to prevent the spread of disease. Accommodation must be arranged for those who have been made permanently homeless.
