11:03 am
for not doing enough. the main challenge is lack government failing to respond. it is the inaccessibility of some of these camps because bridges are been wash. ah, and roads have been caught, i, you know, so that people cannot travel to where they are. so there is hell that is already on hand. it cannot get to the people because of challenges of accessibility. in some parts, there's no electricity or running water. we have people who are, who have been rendered homeless. they don't have food, they don't upgrading, they don't darville what duckling water. so it's really bad. we, we, we, we don't even know what people are going to it for line to this year to day. all. if in supper we don't in all because ah, we have not yet received in it. if item as we speak across the country, more than 88000 people have been displaced. with many sheltering and temporary
11:04 am
camps. maureen is expected in the next few days, raising fears of flash floods and more destruction. and finally is joining us live from blanton now. so what is the situation there today for me, the, as you said, this war ran expected so people must really be under pressure to do what they can now. oh, and they're very much under pressure to deal with people who have no way to go. a key priority at this point is accommodating the displaced and we, at a camp for people who have lost their homes, are in blan tire, and this was once a school. it's since been close since the cycle and pretty hit this area. and in state, it's been used as temporary shelter for people who have lost their homes up behind me is what is the kitchen for more than 4000 people? and that number's growing, as you mentioned, because of fears around the rain that is expected to continue and that's flashed

11:06 am
issues here. hygiene a blue sion facilities and just access to water. and the issue of hygiene is very important because malawi is struggling with a cholera break, at least 1600 people have already died from colorado. and now that will be a key concern in the days ahead. when health remains a priority, we're pending across this area just to give you an idea of what it looks like and those 2 structures. those are the 2 toilets for the more than 4000 people here. and people running this camp. and i have to emphasize that that they're, they're struggling because they're community members. their private citizens are, there is a lot of confusion around how much the government is providing where it's being provided and when they'll have access to it. so people who are. 8 simply relying on donations from the community from private citizens from aid organizations, local ones. and that is. 6 very difficult for them in terms of the funding that they need and also still many questions around accessibility to government aid. we
11:07 am
