Hi I am not aware if you have receievd any updated messages re the serious problems in Mozambique. This message was received by me on Saturday March 18, so it is up to date. The story it tells is horrifying. Please pray for these people who have been devastated by this flood and the now disease that flows from same.

Dear Supporter The following was received from Jeff and Robbie Housen in Mozambique on March the 15th. The flood waters of Mozambique are now receding, leaving behind in some places- absolute chaos. Jeff, Robbie and Julia are working with 2 aid agencies but are finding it difficult, in fact almost impossible to get needed aid to the point of need. As you will see in their letter, both aid and transport are available.... however- I'll let you read it for yourselves. The Housen's are suggesting that some of the AOG World Relief support that is now starting to come in, go towards the purchase of a "rubber duck" in order to facilitate the transportation of food and supplies they have at their disposal. The aid agency they are working with, has an outboard motor but no boat. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >From Jeff and Robbie Housen 15/3/00 Hi from us here in Beira. This is an update of the situation as it stands at this present time. Jeff went out to the airport with Jean Simonis who is the head of Dorcas Aid on Monday. He was scheduled to fly out to Machanga in one of the USA helicopters. However when he arrived at the airport he found absolute chaos. The Germans, British and Americans were there in full force but between the red tape of the Moz government (which those countries have to go through), and the confused co-ordination of all transport units by the United Nations, they were unable to get off the ground. Their place on a flight had been confirmed on 2 lists but unfortunately no-one had entered the information on the computers. Jean told Jeff that this is a continual battle. There is so much aid to go into the affected areas, also enough transport BUT getting permission to get onto the flights is extremely difficult, and when you do they often get them mixed up, and you find you aren't scheduled after all. Anyway the long and the short of this story is that tomorrow morning Jeff and Jean are DEFINITELY booked on a chopper flight with the British tomorrow morning at 8:30am. The Brits will be dropping them off at one of the towns completely devastated and then pick them up 8 hours later. The main work for tomorrow is to dig wells in this particular area so that the people can have access to fresh water. The people in this area are dying daily of cholera, malaria and typhoid. It has been extremely difficult getting reliable reports from the government as to the exact numbers of people affected by disease..... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Please continue to uphold Mozambique in prayer and continue to offer opportunity to those in your church who are wanting to give as well as pray. If you are wanting a colour brochure and flyer with a response form on it that you can duplicate, please email us at wreliefaogwm.org.au or phone 03) 9872 4566 There will also be a Mozambique response form on the back of your next Prayer Release.
