Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>Bathers attending Quebra Canela, one of the most sought-after beaches in the capital of the country, today called on the authorities to hire more lifeguards to prevent drowning and other more serious causes.<\/b><\/p>\n

The call was made in an interview with Inforpress on the World Day for the Prevention of drowning, which is marked this Thursday, 25 July, the date established by the United Nations on 14 April 2021.<\/p>\n

In a round made by the beach of Quebra Canela, the bathers considered it essential to reinforce the presence of lifeguards in order to give more support in situations of much current and swell, which can lead to drowning or harvesting lives.<\/p>\n

Aristides Vaz, one of the frequenters of this beach, said that at this time of school holidays the main beaches of the capital, namely Quebra Canela and Prainha, have been constantly full and only one or two swimmers-saviors are visible.<\/p>\n

They often need to help more than one person at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we are in a high season in which the number of people looking for beaches increases, mostly young people, there is also a number of lifeguards who can respond to possible drowning situations,\u201d<\/b> he said.<\/p>\n

Therefore, he called on bathers to pay more attention to the signs before entering the water and to be more responsible, especially when they take the children to the beaches.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, Zven Ferreira, another bather, recalled that it is always necessary to respect the flags before entering the water, noting that people do not always respect the safety recommendations of the authorities.<\/p>\n

Therefore, he considered it crucial that people take more care when attending sea beaches to avoid tragedies.<\/p>\n

\u201cSliding workers are providing good service, they help many people, so we must take more care of ourselves, respecting the signs and, in addition, help them because they are an insufficient number,\u201d<\/b> he said.<\/p>\n

The lifeguards of the municipality of Praia have complained about several problems they face, ranging from employment contracts to lack of resources, including the flag signage on the beaches.<\/p>\n

The World Day for the Prevention of Welfry, proclaimed by the United Nations, highlights the profound impact of drowning in families and communities, in order to encourage the need to introduce life-saving measures, as well as means to prevent this type of accidents.<\/p>\n

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated quarter of a million people lose their lives due to drowning, and almost 82,000 are children aged between 1 and 14 years.<\/p>\n

This, according to the same source, makes drowning an important public health problem worldwide, being the third leading cause of death from unintentional injuries, representing 7% of all injuries-related deaths.<\/p>\n
