Bikoko added that donations can be made through contacting the Chief Executive Officer of Lilongwe City Council.
There have been two deaths due to drowning and two injuries during the floods.
Malawi Veep Saulos Chilima and Leader of Opposition Lazarus Chakwera also visited the victims and donated various items to them.
