The agency has collaborated with local authorities, international partners, and humanitarian organizations to coordinate relief distribution efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Residents in Garbaharey expressed gratitude for the timely intervention. \u201cThis assistance will provide much-needed relief to our families.
