a 2 day donor conference launched in beirut today with experts from international organizations the private sector and civil society in attendance there hoping to raise about $3000000000.00. it die and can it smashed into was an beacon march and april hitting the center and the north of the country just 6 weeks apart more than 2000000 people were affected and about 650 died now the funds will be a mob so rebuild infrastructure and support social needs and economic protection in a fixity areas. weeks after the cycle on and really knows house is still barely habitable for the family have moved all their possessions into the only undamaged room that's also where they now sleep. you know we'll never forget the day the storm hit. i was just the idea to go anyway because that was so wally they couldn't come out so they leave. going out that was

a very very player named. c.s. . lewis houses just a few 100 meters from the shore the sea is the most immediate danger. this coming laws laws they were yeah why do you think it's coming maybe i don't know who these and i don't know if you've been really. beira is often floods parts of the city are below sea level the districts of poynton j.i. and nova specially at risk un climate change experts estimate that sea levels could rise by a meter by the year 2100. these are stairs of a house that used to be right here in point and jr you can clearly see how the sea came closer and closer over the years and took more and more lands many more houses under threat. the city has taken defensive action with a network of locks and candles and parts of the measures have cost millions

subsidised by development funds from germany. pollution of the regime to win the day of the cycle and it also started raining we have been lost so the water could run down into the sea if we haven't done that the flooding would have been even worse you know. the mangos says the city is used to flooding but destructive storms like cycle only die a new phenomenon. is hoping for more funding from overseas to pay for defensive measures he can't understand why some still doubt the existence of climate change. to have to leave our life. maybe believing another kind of life. but the feeling in the scheme what we have done here we. do understand that

climate change is a problem once they have green flooding once they've been behavior that's what we have seen definitely do feel in the scheme that something bad is happening and that's called climate change. in the meantime and worries about the future about his house and his family. were. brits living here. because my father was here in the wilds he must know we lived out here and we do. possibility to war any other place so we are here. but a very afraid so we afraid. if you could afford it. you would have moved a long time ago away from the water's edge ok let's go over to beirut now where floor. is heading up operations for the red cross is it diet response welcome to

the w africa flow on most of the money that's raised at the stern a conference is going towards rebuilding infrastructure but perhaps tell us how desperate the humanitarian situation is as we speak. thank you thank you for that question because it's true that i think a lot of impact on the infrastructure here wrote which is also because i've been damaged but we should not forget the human side of it and today see some people after 2 months see didn't receive some 1st assistance was that's one of the thing that we're looking at at the moment that the red cross is to still try to to give them some tools that will help them to to reveal their lives in the future but also to respond to their still very dire needs to read 80 to emergency food aid emergency shelter for example that some of the communities we have been visiting in recent to see didn't receive anything right right well not many people have saved

that the response to this disaster has been largely defined it has that been your experience and just how have you had how have you had to get by. if we would have been able to have more funds it's true that we would have been able to rent more trucks rent while the copters and this will bring in more goods to be able to be distributed to all these people but what he's doing most worrying related to the 2 they're not quite front she's what is going to come in the coming weeks and in the coming months in general you can see a lot of factors don years i would say field actors as well that don't very present in the very onset of the restaurants but much less in the coming weeks and coming months why we know that the effect of direct sponsors we really last for long so we need to be able to protect ourself for quite some time rights which is why we are really worried that ok so that to the point i mean you're throwing forward to the future and i just wonder what he'll say it's off how much

a long day you also have this is all going to be needed they are you in this for the long loyd that give us a time horizon. at the red cross we don't see how such response can be shortened and then 2 years i will explain you just briefly why but we feel look at the amount of tears of crops that have been destroyed it's more than 700000 in effect years old the scraps into lost just before the august so it does seem that the main office is going to come on in one year so there is no way we can do something that is she staying in and that we take over after one years we need to be able to reach that gap for me mum of one year and then encourage people to be more resilient field back safer back right or to be more resilient and to risk our flights all right that's fall on pin so from the international federation of red cross thank you very much thank you. it's now to the democratic republic of congo where the body off veteran opposition figure if he and she say katie arrived in the capital

has gone he's the tree he's a library for us he really moved. he must rest when you start. i'm very happy that we can have a ceremony for theosophists night. an extra is a place i know i want to visit it's ethiopia's newest museum that launched in march 20 is often it's found is 1st came up with the idea it's a museum and more because it also comes with a big garden way a city doing this can reconnect with nature that means a lot for people in a city that's known to be developing at a rapid pace his pace has a look at the zouma museum. the rainy season has started and there's almost died in his rejoicing this luxuries this is the newest addition to at this about best cultural spaces and the pride as mr m.

. here architecture and nature are celebrated together these ecological huts turned into works of art were built using an engine construction technique process where you actually get the subsoil you have to be about half a metre before you get the soil the only thing you add is water and straw for about a month and it lasts for hundreds and hundreds of years the. climate control. in so many ways it's one of the best i think. sustainable houses surrounded by a labyrinth most of which are intimate to ethiopia a dream come true for messed around with winters underneath but this is what looks like. these leaves kostin that are usually dipped into coffee and this plant is said to cure a cold in the time in a city where cement towers are sprouting up like mushrooms there's so many museums

a space for humans to breathe and for nature to flourish the city is going past i think. not in the dry right direction many of the trees are. dying out. the air is polluted or even complete me poisoned we're all affected one way or another we're all connected through the environment. reconnecting humans to the environment is precisely the aim of the school. several times a week these kindergarten children come out in small groups and take care of those oh my garden and it's farm the school is open to all and the 1st come 1st serve basis the monthly fee for the selter nativity occasion is around $200.00 euros or 60 years for children in a scholarship. in this age they have to learn about their gardens.

about the organic. they can see and that kind of input so they know about. getting through that. despite these multiple facades has many more tragic. after his recent visit prime minister abu ahmed asked for the garden to be extended an encouraging show of political support but a drop in the bucket for one of africa's most polluted cities. and that's where we'll leave it for now from his africa as always you can catch a lot of stories on our website and facebook page we're always came to know what you think about the stories we cover and the stories that we should be covering here on the africa i'm on twitter at lindela save until next time i've.
