After the hurricane Kenneth passed through Wednesday night, the Comorians woke up in shock. In one country there are two victims, according to the authorities, and especially many material damage. The sheet metal housing was literally blown away by the cyclone, with some of the country's roads destroyed. The authorities are still hard at work to clear the roads and rescue people to relocate.
Two deaths across the country and torrents of mud dragging with them belongings, roofs and sometimes even whole houses made of corrugated iron. From Thursday morning, it was necessary to roll up his sleeves.
" We never thought there would be a cyclone like that. Since 1959 we had had a cyclone like that here in the Comoros. The next house there, it is perhaps ten sheets that it ripped flatly ", testifies an inhabitant.
" There are no wounded, but material damage. We found all the sheet metal parts. There are the son of electricity on the ground, it is more than 24 hours that there is no light. We are isolated from the world, "says another.
In the aftermath of the cyclone, with solidarity as the only resource, two hundred babies and children were collected in a hotel of the place with their mothers before being returned to the address of their choice at the end of the day. Aniami Mchangama assisted them: " There are all those families who had food. There was even a cartoon show at one point. The Comorian citizen was great: I launched an SOS in the morning on social networks, it started to rain. It was bags and bags. There were packs of water, milk, afternoon tea. "
A permanent crisis unit is headed by the Minister of the Interior at the headquarters of the Civil Security, COSEP.
