Hilario, an ALG technician in SVP and Uni Sponsored student,
on happier days before the 2013 floods
|
The ALG Local Technician Hilario is still
recovering from his wound and sounds more cheerful. He manages to stay in his
own house though it is partially destroyed. At the time of this report he had
some food left with him. He also reports a problematic hygienic situation as
the flood waters have been stagnated for days now, the smell is becoming
unbearable and sanitary conditions deteriorate.

Hilario tells us some people have died when
they tried to go to their vegetable fields before the floods to check on the
rice crops. When the waters rose
they were stranded and several took refuge on top of the trees. After days
without food, some of the more fragile and elderly ones gave up on their fight and
were dragged by the waters.
There is widespread fear as the population
awaits the dams in South Africa to be opened once again…
