From Anthony Hodgson (OCA Mancomm head of Social Issues):
Folks, devastating news as 5 homes burnt down at Singabalapha. This leaves 15-20 residents without a place to sleep tonight. Fortunately seems nobody was seriously hurt, but there is an urgent need for relief. I am once again trying to raise money online but if anyone can contribute financially or otherwise please do consider assisting! Also please let me know if it would be appropriate to share a call for donations/support in the larger OCA Whatsapp group?
The source of the fire appears to be a woman who was jealous of her boyfriend and sought revenge by burning his home down, which very quickly spread into the neighbouring homes, as of now unclear exactly how, but probably there was something very flammable in one of those homes that caught fast.
Please make donations to:
