HAI and Partners Extend Lifeline to Flood-Hit Families in Kangpokpi, Over 160 Families Receive Critical Relief Supplies

In a compassionate and coordinated response to the devastating floods that have wreaked havoc across Manipur, Humanitarian Aid International (HAI), in partnership with People’s Resource Development Association (PRDA) Manipur and Start Network, launched a large-scale humanitarian assistance initiative under the Manipur Flood Response – Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Resilience program.

On Monday, the coalition distributed essential relief supplies — including food, non-food, and hygiene kits — to 165 severely affected families in Kangpokpi District Headquarters, marking the first phase of aid distribution in the district.

This vital intervention is part of a larger mission targeting 500 flood-affected families across the region. Earlier, HAI and its partners successfully reached 170 families in Senapati district during the initial phase of their relief efforts.

According to officials, the recent floods have severely impacted all three assembly constituencies within Kangpokpi district, displacing thousands and leaving families grappling with food insecurity and lack of basic necessities.

Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability, the organizers prominently displayed a detailed transparency board at the distribution site. The board listed approximately 30 types of essential items provided to each beneficiary, including rice, dal, edible oil, sugar, potato, onion, salt, eggs, sanitary napkins, mosquito nets, mosquito coils, soap, handwash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other crucial household items — each item meticulously accounted for with its respective quantity and cost.

A complaint box was also installed on-site, empowering beneficiaries to voice any grievances, feedback, or suggestions, thereby ensuring a participatory and transparent distribution process.

HAI and its partners have further announced that the second phase of distribution will soon extend to Saitu and Saikul Assembly Constituencies in Sadar Hills, Kangpokpi district, to reach additional families in dire need.

As Manipur continues to battle the aftermath of one of its worst flood disasters in recent years, this concerted effort stands as a beacon of hope, reaffirming the importance of solidarity, community resilience, and prompt humanitarian intervention.
