The Buildings insurance and house insurance will cover the cost of temporary rehousing and repair and since the council haven't yet kicked them all out and bulldozed the place, we can assume that they were at least able to gather their belongings, and are, it could be said, in a better state than those who were flooded out last week and the weeks before who may also be spending Christmas in temporary accommodation, but also having lost possessions due to water-logging.
I am sure that if any persons such affected were to contact the council etc for emergency support etc, or even contact this site, then support may be forthcoming but why would we rush to donate money where there may be no need.
