Adetayo Adelaja

Disaster officals are appealing for international aid after a powerful earthquake hit northern Malawi on Sunday.  It killed  three people and damaged thousands of homes. Lilian Ng’oma, the commissioner for disaster management described the situation as ‘pathetic and sad’. The Malawian Red Cross has provided some tents but much more is needed according to a local official. Malawi is prone to earthquakes and the government has proposed plans to relocate displaced people to less vulnerable areas.
