China helps reduce maternal deaths in Chimanimani

China helps reduce maternal deaths in Chimanimani  At least 634 people lost their lives when Idai ravaged Chimanimani and surrounding areas in March 2019. Most infrastructure, including clinics, hospitals and schools were levelled by the heavy rains and mudslides, leaving residents, particularly pregnant women without any form of health care facility. However, with the aid of the Chinese government and other well-wishers, maternal deaths in Chimanimani and Chipinge dropped by 46 percent in 2020 compared to 2019. Last week, the Chinese government and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) handed over reproductive health medical equipment and medicines as part of a US$1,24 million support programme to strengthen emergency obstetric and neonatal care in the cyclone-affected areas.

Storm Chalane evacuations begin - Zimbabwe Situation

Storm Chalane evacuations begin Africa Moyo and Elita Chikwati Government has moved in to evacuate people who might be affected by Tropical Storm Chalane in Manicaland Province where it is expected to make landfall today. Last night, Tropical Storm Chalane was coming ashore near Beira, with the outlying clouds expected to reach Manicaland in the early hours of today in Chimanimani and Chipinge. The Government’s emergency operations provided buses, lorries and tractors to ferry affected people to safe havens. The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) expects the cloud system to move across Zimbabwe into Botswana, with the main effect being heavy rains of up to 50mm a day in some areas, and more in a few places but still around a quarter of what was seen with Cyclone Idai last year, and the main danger being flooding in areas prone to flooding during heavy downpours.
