coming up in the next fifteen minutes. mozambique has killed more than one hundred people but things may get worse for the region as a tropical cyclone is on its way. from dropping crimes are picking up the microphone. in nigeria. music wrapping up a life. as a. junior here welcome to the show now nearly a million people have been affected after severe floods in. mozambique started in the middle of last week. and central and northern was on the at least seven hundred

forty thousand people have felt the impact in malawi while one hundred forty one thousand people have been affected in mozambique and it's expected to get worse in tropical cyclone the die is approaching and is due to make landfall in mozambique on thursday authorities there. for help meanwhile is also at risk of flooding. to bring heavy winds over the coming days. in terms of more than two hundred people killed by flooding in minot. joining me now is. who is currently in the flood affected areas in south in malawi. joining us what is the situation like on the ground as we speak. as we speak now the situation on the ground is not all of our troops and this information shows that fifty seven people to fix people have so far died. i

found and that is sending. thousands of people have to be evacuated the numbers keep increasing each popping up on the stick now there really isn't that good a new head of a country so sure but maybe from too lot of it could be some more rain coming and not what's happening on the ground snobby and assessed ill people being put to safety what something key you can tell is not but if the government through the department of disaster management has deployed what a sudden vs i think it starts all live in a fifty districts and behave hundreds of being deployed to one of the most crucial areas in two thousand part of malarkey in science or district where it's heading people or white. men women and children so the

situation on the ground is like the government visited business trying to rescue people who have been affected and. talking about the government how well equipped really is it to handle this. it's very tricky because the government has been spending a lot of money already on organizing singing telling people to move up once before the flood came and the usual government like that of malawi hasn't got enough money but it is sorely the same so it is dependent on the chance of going to somebody's mind then since it is only coming in. now out finally before you go i mean maureen's i expected so code get ware's and like you said many more being found dead so what is being done to prevent

that as escalating the situation. at the moment. government has not only provided some camps in all the districts we have people are being evacuated and are being given equal treatment and the source or some other one for id and otherwise there is much that can be done of them or moved people can be saved anywhere else for your information some people are coming as far as mozambique crossing into malawi because this was also i think a part of mozambique and saw the numbers i believe in and i'm sure this will give them a lot of government tough time to find money to help these people who are being affected . out of thin char gotta feed us generalists thank you very much for the time. as we've had regions of mozambique have also been hits by flooding the government has declared a red unless due to the tropical cyclone he die

a specter to reach that country soon let's talk about that with michael chiles from international federation of red cross and red crescent societies who is coordinating the response thank you very much michael for joining as that what exactly are you doing to help the people in mozambique so if you have you rightly said you know we're expecting a tropical storm to heat and it's going to hit a few provinces i'm busy as we'll find the provinces especially and we have our volunteers on the ground as you know the red cross is well and good based organization and in mozambique we have thousands of volunteers who are preparing who who are one in the community members who are trying to look at them to higher ground and ensuring that you know there's safety within the communities fate of this cycle is not as brief as it should be. so a cycle is coming everyone is on a king what exactly can be done to survive a cycle of. well what exactly can be done is exactly early warnings that we need to

won't one of the community members we need to ensure that you know they can move to safer ground going to cycling comes we need to ensure that there's proper shelter for them and we also need to ensure that yes there will be devastation and we have the red cross we're already preparing so we're pre-positioning our starts and which is non-food items blanket shelter really preposition in that's closer to the site so that once the cycle hits the floods the effects of the flood gates at least way bill to bring relief to the people that are needed to bring relief to the communities in terms of health education instance or safe water in terms of hygiene and the red cross as i said you know where we're at the ground really preparing the community members to be able to respond so there was a flood and we understand the needs to sustain six to six people have died from the vats now it's like when it's coming is going to be an even bigger impact what's the

west case scenario will how big is this going to head well the worst case scenario we're not sure off but we are prepared in tens or really engaging at the community level yes unfortunately sixty six people died but we're hoping that at least with the relief we're bringin and with the coach coordination mechanisms that are on the ground together with governments together with other humanitarian actors we as the humanitarian community can really come and support you know the people that will need us the most ok all the best michael michael chiles from international federation of red cross and red crescent societies thanks for your time and you very much. to another tragedy now in the northwest of the continent in nigeria if three story building collapsed in the commercial coppertone leaders local media and rescue officials see many children were trapped in the rubble this footage shows one of the children who was
