Puntland State of Somalia

PRESS RELEASE

12 November 2013

With reference to the Government’s press statement yesterday (Nov. 11), Puntland Government’s Disaster Management and Rescue Committee held a second meeting Tuesday morning with U.N. and other international aid agencies in Garowe to share information and coordinate relief efforts.

The meeting focused on the present situation following the Government’s declaration of a disaster emergency after a tropical cyclone struck several coastal districts in Puntland. Heavy torrential rains, high wind speeds and flooding has created a state of emergency, with 300 persons feared dead, hundreds others unaccounted for, and countless livestock lost.

Eyl, Beyla, Dangorayo, Hafun, Alula, Rako Raho, and Jariban are among the most affected districts along the eastern and northern coasts. Many fishermen are missing and feared dead. The storm has destroyed entire villages, homes, buildings, and boats. The main tarmac highway between Garowe and Bossaso has been cut off near Sunijif, north of Garowe, causing the biggest logistical problems during the ongoing relief efforts.

The Government has loaded 60 ton of emergency supplies consisting of non-perishable foods, blankets, tents, and medicines. Ten doctors and two ambulances are aiding relief efforts. Makeshift shelter centers are being established to absorb the displaced persons.

Puntland security forces including the PMPF are using military transport trucks to deliver relief supplies to affected coastal districts in this vast territory. The loaded and ready trucks cannot deliver supplies by road, as the heavy rains and flooding has rendered dirt roads to the coastal areas impassible.

Some communication lines are also off air causing more burdens. Communities in affected districts are in need of emergency supplies, including clean water, non-perishable foods, medicines, tents, and blankets.

Puntland Government continues its appeals to the people, world governments, and international aid agencies to donate relief supplies and to support delivery of emergency assistance via airdropping of supplies.

I was just pointing out people's lack of interest in this, nothing else. Story like that of PM and President make the headlines.

 

Illaahay dadka ha u sahlo.

INali Lilaahi Wa inaa IlayHi raaji,un, I'm sending my condolence to those who loss their lover ones.! to those who effected and survived in the cyclone, hope swifty recovery!

Ilaahay haw gargaaro Somalida waqti xun bay ku jirane. Somalidu saaxiib u soo gurmanayana ma laha sida Philipine oo marakiibta dagaalku uga soo baqooleen Hongkong. Innagana duleedkeenay joogaan hoostana waxay ka leeyihin: "who cares, the only good skinny is the dead".

Waa inaan innagu isu gurmanno sidii waagi abaartii, inkastoo maafiyadii tuugta ahayd wixii rashin ahaa suuqa ka iibsadeen. Anyways, wuxuun baa ka gaadhi doona haddaan dadaalno.

Cyclone 3A is the deadliest of its kind since recording started in 1966.
