# The Cape Winelands District Municipality has appealed for humanitarian aid following the devastating floods in the Western Cape. Spokesperson Jo-Anne Otto says thousands of people had to flee their homes and are being housed in community and church halls, and need help. The Department of Social Development, Gift of the Givers, and the Salvation Army have been supplying supplies where possible. Otto says local soup kitchens and benevolent organisations are assisting, but the need is significant and supplies are constrained due to limited access.
