Many of the people affected by the torrential downpours earlier this month were elderly, some living on their own. The flooding and landslides cut road access and water supplies to the village of about 2,000 people situated on Lantau Island, close to Hong Kong.
Around 90 single seniors were aided by the volunteers’ efforts. One 85-year-old woman, whose mobility is limited by five operations, said she had not eaten bread for days.
