UMnyango Wezwe LaseMelika uxwayisa izakhamizi zaseMelika ngokusondela kweSiphepho uMatthew futhi uncoma izakhamizi zaseMelika ukuthi zihlehlise ukuya eHaiti.
I-National Hurricane Centre ibika ukuthi kunesexwayiso sesiphepho esikhishwe iningi le-Haiti.Isexwayiso sesiphepho sisho ukuthi izimo zesiphepho zilindeleke endaweni yesexwayiso, ngokuvamile phakathi kwamahora angu-36. Izimo zesivunguvungu ngokuya komoya kulindeleke ukuthi zifike endaweni ngo-Okthoba 2. Izakhamizi zase-US ezihlala futhi ezihamba ezindaweni ezisogwini zidlula eHaiti, ikakhulukazi enhlonhlo eseningizimu okuhlanganisa namadolobha aseJeremie, Les Kayes, neJacmel kufanele baqaphele kakhulu. imimoya enamandla, izimvula ezinkulu nezikhukhula.
Uma kubhekwa isiphepho esisondelayo, kunesikhathi esilinganiselwe esitholakalayo sokuhamba ngokuphephile. UMnyango Wezwe ugunyaze amalungu omndeni wezisebenzi zikahulumeni wase-US ukuthi zihambe eHaiti ngaphambi kweSiphepho u-Matthew. Sincoma izakhamizi zase-US zisuke e-Haiti uma kungenzeka futhi zisebenze nabathwali bezindiza ezentengiselwano ukuze zihambe ngaphambi kokufika kwesiphepho. Izikhumulo zezindiza zizovalwa uma izimo ziba zimbi futhi kungenzeki ukuhamba okuphephile. Sincoma lezo zakhamuzi ezingakwazi ukusuka ukuze ziyokhosela endaweni evikelekile.
Abahambi kufanele bazise umndeni nabangane abase-United States ngendawo abakuyo, futhi baxhumane eduze nabavakashi babo, izisebenzi zamahhotela, nezikhulu zendawo ukuze bathole imiyalelo yokuphuma. Abahambi kufanele futhi bavikele izincwadi zabo zokuhamba nomazisi ekulahlekelweni noma ekulimaleni, njengoba isidingo sokushintsha amadokhumenti alahlekile singaphazamisa noma sibambezele ukubuyela e-United States.
Impendulo Ephuthumayo: Ingqalasizinda yokunakekelwa kwezokwelapha, okuhlanganisa i-ambulensi yomgwaqo nezinye izinsizakalo eziphuthumayo, ilinganiselwe kakhulu eHaiti. Ezinye izakhamizi zase-US ezilimele ezingozini kanti ezinye ezinokukhathazeka okukhulu kwezempilo azikwazanga ukuthola usizo lwezokwelashwa oludingekayo eHaiti futhi kudingeke ukuthi zihlele futhi zikhokhele ukuthuthwa kwezokwelapha e-United States.
Sikhuthaza kakhulu abahambi abaya e-Haiti ukuthi bathole umshwalense wokuphuma kwezokwelapha ngaphambi kokufika ezweni futhi basebenzise izinhlangano zokufuduka ezinezinketho eziqinile zokuphuma kanye nokwesekwa kwezokwelapha. Ngaphezu kwalokho, labo abahamba ezindaweni zasemaphandleni e-Haiti kufanele baqinisekise ukuthi inhlangano yabo yokuphuma inikeza isevisi lapho behamba khona.
Ubugebengu: Imibiko yokuthunjwa kwezakhamizi zaseMelika yehle kakhulu, kube nezigameko ezimbalwa ezabikwa eNxusa ngo-2016, kodwa ukuthunjwa ukuze kukhishwe isihlengo kusengathinta noma ngubani eHaiti, ikakhulukazi labo abagcina ukuhlala isikhathi eside ezweni.
Ukugebenga kuhlonyiwe kuyinto engenzeka ngempela, ikakhulukazi endaweni yasePort-au-Prince futhi ikakhulukazi ngokushesha ngemva kokusuka esikhumulweni sezindiza. Qaphela ekwabelaneni ngezinhlelo ezithile zokuhamba; cela umninikhaya noma inhlangano ikuhlangabeze esikhumulweni sezindiza lapho ufika; kanye/noma babe nokudluliswa kwezindiza okuhleliwe namahhotela. Qaphela lapho uvakashela amabhange ePort-au-Prince. Amathimba okugebenga ayaziwa ngokuhlola amabhange futhi abambe inkunzi amakhasimende njengoba ephuma. Zimbalwa izehlakalo zobugebengu ezibikwayo ngaphandle kwase-Port-Au-Prince, kodwa amandla eziphathimandla zase-Haiti okuphendula izimo eziphuthumayo alinganiselwe futhi kwezinye izindawo awekho.
Izinxushunxushu Zomphakathi: Imibhikisho, ehlanganisa ukuvinjwa kwemigwaqo namabhuloho, ivamisile futhi ivamise ukuzenzekela. Amaphoyisa Esizwe SaseHaiti (i-HNP), ngosizo lwe-United Nations' Stabilization Mission e-Haiti (MINUSTAH), anesibopho sokugcina ukuhleleka nokunikeza usizo. Kodwa-ke, ikhono le-HNP lokusiza izakhamuzi zase-US ngesikhathi sokuphazamiseka lilinganiselwe. Ukukhishwa okuxhaswe uhulumeni wase-US, njengokususwa okwenzeka e-Haiti ngo-2010, kwenzeka kuphela uma zingekho ezinye izindlela zokuhweba eziphephile ezikhona.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- citizens injured in accidents and others with serious health concerns have been unable to find necessary medical care in Haiti and have had to arrange and pay for medical evacuation to the United States.
- citizens residing and traveling in coastal areas through out Haiti, especially on the southern peninsula including the cities of Jeremie, Les Kayes, and Jacmel should be alert to very strong winds, heavy rain fall, and flooding.
- We strongly encourage travelers to Haiti to obtain medical evacuation insurance prior to arrival in country and to use evacuation organizations that have solid evacuation and medical support options in place.
