More than a month after the MV Barima tragedy, the continuing cries of affected families for financial, legal and psychosocial support have prompted the political opposition to step into a vacuum it says should never have existed.
Friday, Office of the Leader of the Opposition launched the Humanitarian Emergency Relief Operation (H.E.R.O.), bringing together lawyers, psychologists, social workers and financial professionals to provide free assistance to survivors and relatives of those killed or still missing.
More than 40 affected families attended the launch, where Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed and Members of Parliament from We Invest in Nationhood (WIN) met with families seeking assistance, answers and closure.
