After cyclone Idai: hundreds of thousands waiting for help

ten days is drawn cyclone "Idai" over South-Eastern Africa, and has left destruction. Still more than a Million people waiting for help - many of them are children.

The Samora-Machel-school in Beira is an emergency shelter for more than 1000 people who have lost everything. Cyclone "Idai" had taken in mid-March, the town in Mozambique difficult. Many now grieve for dead family members, others do not know what happened to their Relatives. Also, children who were separated from their parents and alone are wrong.

emergency responders had rescued with boats and helicopters from the Flood plains, reported by Daniel Timme from the children's Fund, UNICEF. "Here, every couple of minutes to come out new kids, totally soaked."

Traumatized children

The children are highly traumatised. "We need to take care of your emotional Well, as far as we can."

Still help organizations such as UNICEF, under extremely difficult conditions. While it is a progress that the first roads have been repaired after Beira, but many other regions still remain isolated from the outside world.

"We need to bring relief goods in the disaster zone," says Timme. It was a logistical Problem, because it could only take place by air or by ship.
