Shifting of people is done by the government organization or private, NGO is not mentioned than how could we say? It may be or may not be.

All the people were shifted to safe areas in statement 1 then for whom the people living in affected areas is govt supplying the necessaries I think option D is apt.

The problem is that there should be something like another answer.
F - Both the statements I and II are effects where causes/cause is uncertain.
That's all.
F - Both the statements I and II are effects where causes/cause is uncertain.

I agree with @Hnm rushing in relief does not mean that it is the same news.

Since statement II does not specify 'flood affected', it could possibly be from another news items which pertains to say some other natural disaster. So I think the answer should be D.
