KAI-KAI, NORTHERN CAMEROON - Aid groups in Cameroon say thousands of people displaced last year from flooding and elephant attacks in the far north need help being resettled. Hundreds of the victims are living in the open after heavy rains and rampaging elephants destroyed their homes.
Heavy winds blow over Kai-Kai district on Cameroon’s northern border with Chad. The winds disrupt a ceremony in which 134 homeless civilians are receiving gifts from non-governmental organizations.
Alim Wendi, 26, a farmer and single mother of three, is among the people running for nearby tents to escape the dust, grass and tree branches blown about by the strong winds.
