Rescue efforts are currently being carried out following a disastrous cyclone that damaged Chimanimani district in Zimbabwe.
Cyclone Idai entered the country from neighboring Mozambique on March 15, causing damage in Manicaland, Masvingo and Mashonaland East provinces.
The most severely affected area is Chimanimani district where most of the deaths have occurred, followed by Chipinge district in Manicaland.
Helicopters now have access to some of Chimanimani's worst affected areas, flying in critical supplies to the communities and bringing back the wounded. Rescuers have also managed to clear the roads toward a center that had been blocked by fallen trees and debris.
The injured are being brought to the center for initial assessment and triaging before being transfered to Chipinge Hospital.
"We have head injuries, some with fractures, broken limbs. Some also have broken pelvises or hips," said volunteer doctor Themba Nyoni.
The past few days have been emotionally and physically draining for the people of Chimanimani. Nyoni said that the disaster may leave permanent scars on the survivors' minds even after their superficial ones have healed.
"We may treat the wounds now but there are a lot of mental health issues that will arise from this. We have heard some of the stories from the local people. Some of them, they have lost their whole family. Some have lost children," he said.
At least 500 people have been reported missing in the valleys of Chimanimani and rescuers are in a race against time to reach them.
