Students from the

A group of more than 30 students provided an immediate response, organising and delivering emergency help and aid for victims and survivors within hours of the tragedy.

Among those involved were Rob Ahmed, who was personally affected and led on coordinating donations. In addition, Ayo Olatunji and others helped to arrange beds for those who lost their homes.
