GEM 2023 Missie

Cycloon Freddy

Fase 1: Hulpverlening bij rampen

Malawi werd het zwaarst getroffen door de cycloon Freddy; de zware overstromingen beschadigden het elektriciteitsnet van het land en ruïneerden de dam. Honderden mensen lieten het leven en velen verloren hun huis. Momenteel is de grootste strijd voor de inwoners van Malawi de landbouwschade van cycloon Freddy. De stormen en overstromingen vernietigden de velden volledig op het hoogtepunt van het oogstseizoen. Voedselonzekerheid is nu een bedreiging voor miljoenen, evenals de huidige uitbraak van cholera. GEM heeft samengewerkt met Feed The Hungry, dat in Malawi woont, om snel hulp te bieden door grootschalige voedselhulp te verstrekken aan degenen die door Freddy zijn getroffen.
