The latest flight and outreach reports:

Potable water out of water puddles Leonore (22), a young mother, bends over a water puddle. Her 18 months old daughter Luisina meanwhile sleeps tranquilly on the back of her mother.
The described scenario happens in Madobulu, a little settlement in the south of Mozambique, which is a remote region extremely difficult to reach. Since there should not get any more filth into the already dirty and polluted water, Leonore scoops the water very carefully with an old disused plastic container. For adults, this "potable water" is to a certain extent edible, while for little children, such a broth can be highly perilous. Finally, a well project should provide this little village with clean water. Its planning is already well advanced. Thanks to the helicopter of Mercy Air, during this outreach there was a possibility to fly medical staff and drugs into this remote area. Therefore, hundreds of people received medical treatment. |

Thousands flee Zambezi flooding
 Some 50,000 people in Mozambique have been displaced by flooding along the Zambezi valley, authorities say.
They say between 150,000 and 200,000 people could be affected over the coming weeks if forecast rains fall in upper reaches of the valley.
The Zambezi has already burst its banks in some areas forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.
And the river is continuing to rise. |
