GUARA GUARA, Mozambique - At a camp near the city of Beira for people rescued from Mozambique’s catastrophic flooding, residents were dealing on Friday with worries about their future and shortages of pretty much everything - water, food and medicines.
Fernando Marevere, a local village chief, said the main concern for new arrivals at Guara Guara was food and medicines, which were both in short supply. Fresh water was in low supply and there were no toilets. The camp’s residents, numbering in the hundreds, washed in a stream nearby.A young boy bawled as doctors worked on a deep cut on his foot, as a family friend held him still and shielded his face from the gore.
“The help is coming, but it’s coming very slowly,” she said, adding that what did arrive had to be given to children first. The storm killed 242 people in Mozambique and 259 in Zimbabwe, and numbers were expected to rise, relief agencies said. In Malawi, 56 died in heavy rains before the onset of Idai.Left with nothing, many people at Guara Guara were concerned for their future or the health of their small children. But the biggest fear, a number of people said, was for relatives and friends they had not heard from since the waters started rising.“I could escape, but my nephew didn’t because he was not able to walk.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said on Friday its relief efforts included sending teams to the region to help families without access to telephones or the internet find their missing relatives.
Guessing one of the first groups on the ground would be MSF. That's where my check is going. Anyone else with good suggestions for disaster relief?
