| This
case highlights the mental and physical health impacts on the Kanseche
communities in Chikwawa, Malawi after deadly floods swept an entire village.
About 2,380 survivors are depressed and experience post-traumatic stress
disorder and anxiety, among other well-being challenges. They live in fear.
For example, men lack confidence and struggle to take risks to rebuild their
lives because of fear of losing the gains to floods and other climatic
shocks, while women and children worry about their safety. |
