It was the first day the sun was out. Helicopters and aircraft have arrived from all over the world. High-energy biscuits and bottles of water are being flown or sores to isolated villages, islands amongst the flood waters. What appears to be more of an ocean than land. Flying over the city you see the true destruction of the cyclone’s power with residential homes torn open. As we fly off we see the sea, it has turned milk chocolate from all the rivers overflowing into its usual blue waters. Flying over farm land that is now flooded you see the occasional hut, crumbling in the flood waters. As we approach the “island” of Guara Guara we see a white tent next to a field and a throng of people awaiting our approach. The town is now home to an estimated 1,300 people and more arriving every day from surrounded villages. It’s the highest point in this area and is now home to everyone who has survived the flood waters
Medical teams fly in and out each day. The people are asking for no more biscuits, they need food, rice and other necessities. We unload the high-energy biscuits and bottles of water with a group of young men helping to carry them off. The medical team has finished its day’s work and replaces the cargo on the flight. This is an Indian Navy aircraft, they were practicing nearby when they got word for help and came. There are no doors on this ship and as we take off the kids wave to us, the houses on the outside of the village are still bathed in water reminding us how perilous the situation remains
