Mabela Community Needs Urgent Help

PRESS RELEASE

MABELA SUFFERS, NEEDS HELP

FREETOWN: 

In Mabela, East of Freetown, close to 100 houses have been burnt caused by fire accident. The incident has also left many people dead and other wounded with property worth millions destroyed.

Many women and children lie homeless, starving and exhausted. Their families look on as government and aid workers begin a move that can save their situation.

Right now, more than 1, 000 children are suffering from shelter in the crowd infested slums and many others are facing accommodation problems having to host the victims in their houses.

STOP IT-Sierra Leone’s Executive Director John Koroma visited the area and observed that there is a challenging humanitarian crisis situation there and calls for immediate intervention. “It is devastating, only government and aid agencies can help” he said of the crisis.

Please help STOP IT-Sierra Leone and other dedicated humanitarian aid workers fight against the clock to save as many children from homelessness at Mabela.

The fire disaster has not only hit Mabela, but a spike in food prices has also brought thousands of poor displaced and homeless families to starving.

To help the families of the victims, we are preparing to scale up an emergency response in Mabela. With your help, we can be able to provide emergency nutrition for children, health supplies etc.


Please make a donation of blankets, food, medical supplies, or accommodation to support the victims of Mabela to STOP IT-Sierra Leone. The thousands of women and children whose lives are being affected at Mabela are depending on all of us.
