The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Establishes Emergency Assistance Hotline

Several islands in the Maldives have been hit by high waves generated by the southern swell, which broke on the south west of the Indian Ocean during the week end. The waves have already caused damage to public and private property. Schools have been closed due to flooding. Following predictions that the situation may worsen in the next two to three days, the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has established a Task Force to monitor the situation and to coordinate its emergency assistance activities. MDP’s emergency assistance hotline number is 3343625.
