The population of the Namissir neighborhood, on the outskirts of the municipal town of Chiúre, invaded the UNAFP vehicle that was distributing buckets to the residents of the area. This aid was meant to help alleviate the effects of Cyclone Chido.
Sources from the neighborhood reported that chaos ensued at the start of the distribution due to the failure to follow the list initially.
"At first, they arrived without warning in the afternoon,
but even so, when people saw the vehicle at the school along with the chief,
they approached to find out what was going on. The chief, who was with the
vehicle, said they were distributing buckets to the population. Then people
started talking within the neighborhood, and when we arrived, they began
calling names from the list. The list started at number 144, and all of those
were family members of the chiefs, he started do say.
And then continued “People began asking why the list started at number 144 and not at number 1, but no one provided satisfactory answers. As the list continued, those receiving buckets were people who had connections with the chiefs, and if you didn’t have a link with the chiefs, you wouldn’t receive anything. The buckets were few, and many people didn’t receive any. Complaints started, and that’s when the chaos began, and people began taking the materials," described a resident.
This scenario of people invading vehicles from organizations
working in the humanitarian aid field in the Chiúre district is not the first
instance. It has been happening since last year in the administrative post of
Katapua, in Ncuerete, within the municipal town of Chiúre, and most recently
this year in Namissir. (Celestino Carlos)
