The severe floods that struck Terengganu in 2022 brought to light these ongoing difficulties, resulting in significant casualties and displacement. Flood victims suffered not only material losses but also endured deep psychological trauma and emotional distress. A prominent issue following such disasters is the struggle of victims to accept their circumstances, often blaming external forces or fate, which can impede their coping mechanisms and strain personal and familial relationships.
