Two mega quakes, two tsunamis and now floods and landslides. Nias is in pain.
Megan just called from Gunung Sitoli with tragic news. Recent torrential rains unleashed a huge landslide and half of Hilianaa village has been buried. 4 villagers are confirmed dead and Megan arrived with a UNICEF team as they were uncovering the last of the bodies. Hilianaa is in Gido regency not far from the airport.
Our team are in Gunung Sitoli to help unload boats and load trucks to make sure the Rotary family boxes make it to Gomo tomorrow. Two weeks of delay, storm and floods underline how critical it is for us to secure our new mother ship soon so we can bypass the failing infrastructure and keep supplies moving.
