Germany to donate a further 2,35 Mio Euro in humanitarian aid to ZWE

In response to the humanitarian crisis in Zimbabwe Germany is donating an additional 2,35 Mio Euros. The funds will be made available to the World Food Programme´s emergency response programme that is targeting food-insecure people including refugees in order to help them meet their basic food and nutrition requirements. WFP´s assistance will be in-kind as it ensures beneficiaries´access to food given regional cereal shortages, cash liquidity challenges and high transaction costs associated with mobile money transfer platforms.

Liebe Landsleute,

die Covid-19-Pandemie stellt uns alle vor ungeahnte Herausforderungen. In einer von Tag zu Tag sich verändernden Lage können nicht dauerhaft gültige Empfehlungen ausgesprochen werden. Wir alle müssen die Entwicklung der Lage aufmerksam verfolgen und Maßnahmen laufend daran anpassen.

Auch wenn viele von Ihnen durch Ihre Arbeitgeber und Entsendeorganisationen Hinweise zu präventiven Maßnahmen am Arbeitsplatz und im persönlichen Umfeld erhalten, kommt es v.a. auf die Eigenverantwortung jedes Einzelnen an. Dazu gehört auch, die präventiven Maßnahmen intensiv mit denjenigen zu besprechen und einzuüben, für die Sie Verantwortung tragen, Ihre Mitarbeiter, Hausangestellte und v.a. Kinder.

In Zimbabwe gibt es zum heutigen Tag noch keine bestätigten Fälle von COVID-19. Das wird nicht so bleiben. Vor allem wird es bei steigender Fallzahl auch Fälle mit der Notwendigkeit zu intensivmedizinischer Behandlung und Konkurrenz um die wenigen Intensivbetten im Land geben.

Seien Sie sich bewusst, dass die Repatriierungsmöglichkeiten zunehmend begrenzt sind, weil Flüge gestrichen werden und die Rettungsflugunternehmen es ablehnen, COVID-19-Erkrankte auszufliegen.

Nach derzeitiger wissenschaftlicher Einschätzung steigt das Risiko bei Menschen über 60 und erst recht, wenn Grunderkrankungen wie Krebs, Diabetes mellitus, und Erkrankungen des Herzkreislaufsystems (z.B. Bluthochdruck), Atmungssystems, der Leber und der Niere vorliegen, beträchtlich.

Sollte eine oder mehrere dieser Bedingungen bei Ihnen vorliegen, dann sollten Sie jetzt abwägen, wo Ihnen im Bedarfsfall besser geholfen werden kann, und jetzt eine entsprechende Entscheidung treffen oder mit Ihrem Arbeitgeber darüber sprechen.

Deutschen, die sich nur vorübergehend und kurz in Zimbabwe aufhalten oder demnächst eine Reise nach Europa antreten müssen, empfiehlt die Botschaft, die Rückreisemöglichkeiten kontinuierlich zu prüfen. Mehrere Fluglinien, die Zimbabwe anfliegen, haben Flüge an viele oder alle ihrer europäischen Destinationen eingestellt. Bitte erkundigen Sie sich über den aktuellen Stand direkt bei Ihrer Fluggesellschaft bzw. Reiseagentur, da sich die Lage täglich ändert und die Botschaft nicht immer rechtzeitig informiert wird.

Passen Sie auf sich, Ihre Familie und Kolleginnen und Kollegen auf und bleiben Sie gesund !

Mit besten Grüßen

Thorsten Hutter
Botschafter
