The international community has also responded vigilantly and speedily. However, due to the extreme winter condition in the country, we need winter tents to save lives,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>She added that although the heartbreaking and tragic situation is ongoing, she appealed that Namibians assist with the urgent items mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>The diplomat indicated hundreds of thousands of children and their families are homeless in the wake of the earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSnow and bitter winter weather have placed children at great risk of hypothermia, as they struggle to survive in sub-zero temperatures. Many survivors have had to sleep in cars, outside, or in makeshift shelters, hence there is a need for tents, gas heaters and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said more than 13 million citizens of the country are impacted, of which 36 800 lost their lives while 10 8000 were injured.
