Dear friends! The Situation Bushiyi (Bucalasi and Nametai Village) is a little bit to describe more clearly. In the last three days being mainly. possibly to save survivors from the mud. And there were also 38 people are rescued alive until about noon yesterday (4th 10 3) but only adults, the children are all dead had Digging Yesterday evening be set because it is too dangerous. More landslides are expected and it is now unlikely that anyone still lives, as it continued raining very heavily. Right now the sun is shining, but thick clouds move forward to again. All holes are filled up with water. Yesterday warnings for three other villages have been announced by helicopter are cracks have been identified by several mountains. Bushiyi and our schools are still safe, but most of the villagers of Bushibuya is evacuated. Our schools are concerned only with further in other places willing to accept refugees. The government has sent a truckload of corn and beans, the Red Cross helps to distribute locally. We could also 20 bag of maize and beans from our school operations branch .. Emergency must trimester this time a week or two rather close. What is lacking now are blankets, mats to sleep we have had enough. Just love the rainy season, malaria mosquitoes and very cold to pneumonia affecting especially children and old people. If it continues Sun's raining, it also needs more food for the refugees. Long-term assistance can not currently estimate well. The government promises at the moment even more support. They had sent soldiers, who helped with the digging, you have to wait for anything more. We see terrible fate of individuals. A couple who lost six children because the children were sleeping on the side of the house, who were swept away by the landslide. 26 family fathers (men from surrounding villages), who held a meeting are all dead about 150 children, some of Bushiyi Primschool strong because of the rains could not come home and the Health Center Nametsi shelter for the night, studied, all could only be partially buried dead, the Health Center. Until yesterday morning, was still calling a nurse by telephone for help, but it was impossible to find them. The sludge layer is partly 5 - 6 meters high, with trees and debris from the mountain. Will keep the rain and as the device only picks and shovels. The nearest places there are 2 - 3 hours of walking over the mountains. The whole area is populated very densely but impassable. That's it for now, greetings from Elisabeth
