Yesterday, Red Cross teams reached Petobo village, once home to 500 people, now devastated. Volunteers recovered bodies and are battling debris and thick mud in an attempt to find survivors. Red Cross team member, Iris van Deinse, said while visiting the village, “We’re doing everything we can to bring medical treatment, clean water and support to the worst-affected areas. The survivors of this disaster have lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods. We cannot let them lose hope as well." | America
