A powerful windstorm recently swept through Etam village in Tombel Sub Division, South West Region of Cameroon, causing extensive damage and leaving many residents without homes. The incident occurred around 10 pm on the night of March 27, 2024, and initial reports suggest that numerous homes have been either severely damaged or completely destroyed.
Details regarding the intensity of the winds have not yet been released, but the impact of the storm is evident from the images seen by MMI. Local authorities have not yet provided any official statements, making it challenging to estimate the number of displaced residents and the extent of the destruction.
The immediate focus now is on providing emergency shelter and assistance to those affected. Given the number of homes destroyed, displaced residents will need temporary housing, food, and other essential supplies to help them through this difficult time.
Despite the devastation, the Etam community is showing remarkable solidarity and resilience. Residents are coming together to help each other clear debris and provide temporary shelter to those who have lost their homes.
Looking ahead, it is likely that Etam village will require external assistance to recover from the storm. Local aid organizations and government agencies are expected to play a crucial role in providing relief and supporting the community as they begin to rebuild.
As this story continues to develop, we will stay vigilant and provide updates as more information becomes available.
