With dirt widespread everywhere,
infectious diseases are expected to be on the rise
|
The
biggest concern in Chokwe at the moment is the widespread of diseases such as
diarrhoea and malaria. The stale waters and the rapidly deteriorating hygienic
conditions for the children and families turned homeless by the floods are
already causing severe cases of illness. The CRPE Orphan Centre is asking for all
the help they can gather in identifying and treating the most urgent cases of diarrhoea.
With no movement in the flood waters and the seasonal heat, the families
sleeping outside are also very exposed to malaria. These conditions are
expected to bring an outburst in diseases.
The
UPG volunteers on the ground are still working with brother Licinio to continue
to evaluate the more serious cases. We are looking for local support of any
doctors that could help us in this field.
