The numbers that the rains leave in Cartagena
They are a reflection of the harshness of emergencies: more than 31 thousand families affected, floods in 33 neighborhoods, 20 useless schools, 14 landslides and losses in up to 100 hectares of crops.
The balance was delivered by the mayor of Cartagena, William Dau, who asked the Colombians for help so that the affected people from Cartagena do not have to go through more needs.
“This with the hurricane (storm Iota) was out of all predictions, it really got out of hand. We set up the combat arena to receive victims, in addition we have requested other scenarios from the Bolívar government, ”said the president.
In addition, he stated that yellow machinery, food, toilet kits, mats and most importantly are needed: “we are needing Colombians to show their generosity.”
For this purpose, said William Dau, a savings account was set up at Banco de Occidente under number 83012551-4.
As they tend to the victims, the resort town prepares for more rains.
“Ideam is projecting that we are going to have 24 more hours of torrential rains, stronger than those we had last night,” Dau said.
The situation is monitored from three Unified Command posts, mainly from the Manga neighborhood, from where reports are received, such as those that arrived the night before of landslides in the Albornoz hills, the Marión hill and the La Popa hill.
