Relief and Rehabilitation Officer for Karonga District Council, Shepherd Jere, has disclosed that 175 house holds have been hit by strong winds in Traditional Authority Kilupula.
The revelation follows a verification which his department conducted on January 18 this year.
According to the findings, group Village Head Mulindafwa recorded 48 households that were affected, Katumbi 23, Eliya 17, Matukuta 25, Mwaulambo 45, and Mwanjasi 17 households.
“The affected households are thus in need of construction materials, food and other household items,” reads part of the report.
Jere has since pointed out that his department has trained CPCs, installed CBEWS and will continue making sensitization of disaster early warning messages and have made a contingency plan.
Karonga is one of the disaster prone districts in Malawi.
