On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Mauritania's Tiris Zemmour regional governor, Idrissa Demba Korera, oversaw the distribution of cash assistance to 154 families affected by recent rains in the Azouerat and Awdjerck districts. The aid, provided by Asnim Charity, totaled 9,856,000 ouguiya. The governor stated that Mauritania's President, Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, had instructed administrative authorities to be closer to citizens and support them in all circumstances, particularly vulnerable groups.
The governor added that administrative authorities, in cooperation with members of the Regional Emergency and Crisis Management Committee, had assessed the conditions of affected families during field visits to various neighborhoods impacted by the recent rains. He noted that interventions to assist these families began with the first rainfall, with the General Delegation for National Solidarity and Combating Exclusion "Tazaire" providing aid to those affected.
Asnim Charity's intervention provided additional cash support, initiated by the company's exploitation manager. The governor praised the charity's efforts, expressing gratitude for their contribution to supporting affected families. He emphasized that the state would continue to stand by affected citizens and that families that had not benefited from previous interventions would have the opportunity to receive aid from the Food Security Commission.

He added that Asnim Charity continued its social and developmental interventions at the regional level, aiming to improve living conditions for residents, particularly in exceptional circumstances.
The distribution of cash assistance was attended by several officials, including the governor's legal and administrative advisor, the deputy governor of Azouerat district, and leaders of the region's security agencies.
