Prime minister David Cameron has been meeting families and business owners hit by the floods in Kent today.
As more than 700 homes are still flooded in the wake of the torrential rains, Mr Cameron toured Yalding, and met those most severely hit by the storms.
Some angry villagers hit out, after failing to get a response from authorities handling the crisis.
Erica Olivares confronted the Prime Minister as he visited the village seriously affected by the latest storms.
She told David Cameron her local council had done nothing to help villagers in Yalding.
The PM tried to defuse the confrontation by promising to contact the council himself and to visit her property.
But she later said villagers had been given no food or drink over Christmas as the worst of the storms caused damage.
The prime minister praised the excellent work of emergency and rescue workers who had given up their Christmases to tackle the flooding.

"As a gesture of goodwill UK Power Networks has decided to boost the industry standard payment from £27 to £75 for customers who are without power for 48-60 hours including Christmas Day, and additional payments will be made to any customers off supply for longer."
