KOTA KINABALU, July 27 (Bernama) -- The number of flood evacuees in Tawau remained unchanged at 362 people from 102 families as of 8 am today.
The Sabah Disaster Management Committee Secretariat said that all evacuees are being sheltered at the temporary relief centre (PPS) at the Tawau Sports Complex Multipurpose Hall.
All the evacuees are residents from four affected villages: Kampung Tanjung Batu Keramat, Kampung Tanjung Batu Darat, Kampung Tanjung Batu Otentik and Kampung Kinabutan Tiku Batu 6.
“No fatalities or untoward incidents have been reported so far,” it said in a statement.
