THE Western Highlands Disaster Committee will visit parts of Minj district to assess the extent of damage caused by last Friday’s hailstorm.
Its acting coordinator Nop Aban said they did not have funds to provide to the villages affected but would look for some from other sources.
He said they would be in a better position to determine the assistance needed after the visit.
The hailstorm struck some villages in the district at about 3pm and lasted for about four hours.
Some of the hailstones were as big as coconuts.
Yesterday, some people told The National that strong winds blew away the roofs of two houses and uprooted several trees.
They said about 250 people from Kinsipi council ward one and two were affected.
