CycloneKenneth | Further rains are predicted for the coming days.
Teams in white hard hats and green overalls loaded dozens of boxes of high-calorie biscuits and medicines onto two large cargo helicopters - which can carry three tons each - one destined for Ibo Island and the other for Quissanga.
"The priority is getting aid to Ibo because it hasn't been reached yet," Deborah Nguyen, spokeswoman for World Food Programme said on the tarmac at Pemba airport next to a large white Mil Mi-8 cargo chopper being loaded. Heavy rain delayed liftoff, and high winds pummelling the area raised fears the relief efforts could be further delayed.
