What are the most important priorities that relief efforts are focusing on?
The main efforts have been to provide people with food and clean drinking water. Rescue teams have also been looking for people with helicopters and rescue boats to remove them from affected areas to temporary shelters. Relief workers have also been distributing “survival bags” consisting of canned food and bottled drinking water that can last for a few days.
What diseases have you been monitoring?
Diarrhea, food-poisoning, skin diseases and conjunctivitis. These were found and reported in many temporary shelters for flooded victims.
