5. Field information
Gaza
The following information is extracted from a report prepared by ADPP and
dated 15 April 2000.
The village of Chate was flooded on March 26, affecting about half of the 563
families resident in the village. It lies 36 km north of the town of
Chokwe in the Limpopo valley. The secretary of the village indicated that the
priorities for aid in Chate were medical assistance, food, cooking utensils
and tents.
The report noted that the village has no health post, medicine or trained
health worker. The closest health post is 8 km away at Manjangue, but Chate
has no means of transport. It is reported that an undisclosed number of
malaria cases, as well as the floods themselves, have left 43 orphans in the
village.
With regard to water supply and sanitation, the village has no latrines and no
materials with which to construct them. However, the village has two pumps,
one of which is working.
Most of the crops in the village were destroyed in the floods, with the
exception of the third ward, which is currently the only source of food
inside the village. However, one shipment has been received by helicopter.
This consisted of 35 x 50 kg bags of maize, 1 x bag of sugar, 2 x sacks of
peas and 1 box of oil. This lasted for one week and ran out two weeks ago.
People have been surviving on maize gleaned from the spoiled fields or donated
by other residents in the village.
Most of the houses in the village withstood the flood, but 433 lost their
homes. ADPP is arranging to take 45 tents to house the homeless families.
ADPP and the Mozambique Red Cross on 13 and 14 April supplied some family
packages containing clothing, soap, blankets and water containers, although
the number of packages was not mentioned.
