UNICEF is concerned about the immediate impacts of this cyclone, the loss of life, the damage to schools, to people's homes, to healthcare facilities. We're also worried about the longer-term impacts, children potentially being cut off from learning for weeks on end, people unable to get access to healthcare, and the potential spread of water-borne diseases like cholera and malaria.
