Tropical Cyclone Eloise hit Mozambique on 23 January 2021, bringing devastating winds and extreme rainfall in Beira and surrounding districts. The ASB team has started relief measures directly after the tropical storm was over, at first distributing food and safe drinking water, and then building water purification systems and educating local population and colleagues in the field on proper usage of it.
In 2016, Hurricane “Matthew” has left enormous destructions in large parts of Haiti, with more than 750.000 people in need of help. ASB team was there right after the storm was over, helping people in need. In August 2021, Haiti faced an earthquake with severe consequences.

Since that moment, body saves all the remaining moisture: kidneys send less water to bladder, urine gets dark, we sweat less, so our body temperature rises, our blood becomes thicker and more concentrated, our cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep our blood pressure up, so the heart rate increases.

Even mild dehydration can leave us feeling more tired and less able to perform physically, and when exercising or working in a hot environment, the human body can lose between 1.5-3 litres of water every hour due to sweat. Luckily, dehydration is reversible and by replacing body water, a full recovery is likely.
