News of this tragedy is getting hidden behind other nonsense at the moment but some aid has already been pledged:
'Tanzania has sent relief aid to neighbouring Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi following the devastating impact of Cyclone Idai that has ravaged parts of the country.
Reports indicate that the aid package included food and medical supplies. Overall, 214 tons of food and 24 tons of medical supplies were dispatched by the Tanzania government.
Members of the army are seen packing the supplies into military aircraft to be sent to the affected areas.
South Africa and UNICEF were among the first to start a fund raiser aimed at gathering public support for humanitarian efforts. All three affected countries have called for assistance to contain the crisis.
The European Union has meanwhile released 3.5 million euros in emergency aid for the three countries. The breakdown of the funds are as follows:
Mozambique = 2 million euros
Zimbabwe = 1 million euros
Malawi = 500,000 euros'

As WWZ says, this all gets booted from the front pages due to the rubbish that's going on in this country at the moment. There has been a massive landslide in Indonesia lately too with over 100 deaths so far and "dozens" still unaccounted for., 10,000 people displaced.

Barely a peep from the media. It's there but it's not being pushed in the same way as anything that will further racial/social/religious divides. [Post edited 20 Mar 2019 15:12]

That is more or less what one of the interviewees in the BBC clips says. When nature lets rip you just have to accept it and then rebuild your life afterwards if you are lucky enough to have one.

Absolutley devastating stuff!!! Just in Malaysia and heard about this yesterday and feel me and the wife have dodged a bullet as we had been planning on going to Mozambique instead. A long road to recovery by the looks of the footage. [Post edited 22 Mar 2019 4:10]
