An overwhelming number of big-hearted Bahrainis and expatriates have stepped forward to offer their help in shelters temporarily set up to host people evacuated from under fire areas of Juffair, Hoora and Gudaibiya.
Shelters set up in public schools continued to operate for the third day yesterday, providing evacuees with a roof over their head, warm meals and a place to sleep away from sites struck by Iranian missiles, until the situation calms down.
A number of volunteers, who were acting as staff members in one shelter, told the GDN that requests to join and extend a helping hand have been pouring in – with more than 200 volunteer names on the list in reserve for that shelter alone.
