Mauritanian community in The Gambia has given a donation of D500,000 cheque to victims of Basse market inferno whereby the entire market was destroyed. At least 300 stalls were burnt down to ashes with lots of goods worth millions of dalasis.

The group’s donation comes a week after the fire destruction which showed Gambian president Adama Barrow, and United Democratic Party, and Gambia Democratic Party donating to the victims.

It also comes after Barrow’s call for support to the victims

The president of the National Union of Mauritanian Employers in The Gambia, Mohamed Zeine Abidine, handed the cheque to President Barrow in State House Tuesday on behalf of the community in The Gambia.
