Shantytown, Oceanside

Yesterday in Smithers shantytown, a distressing lack of basic necessities was discovered. The community was found to be deprived of essential resources which we were able to provide such as water, heat, food, and blankets, warm winter coats and all sorts of clothes to keep warm despite the onset of winter. Furthermore, a significant number of individuals were reported to be unwell, with four people lying on the floor in an ailing state. Their sickness was attributed to dehydration resulting from the absence of adequate water supply. Additionally, it was noted that the living conditions were substandard, with the mention of cramped quarters 8ft x 8ft living area in this situation.
