Southern Cordilia’s Long Road to Recovery: April Update
Alkantara, Krauanagaz– Two months after the catastrophic 10.1-magnitude quake and partial eruption of Mount Alkantarak, Southern Cordilia is emerging from the immediate crisis phase. Yet reconstruction efforts remain deeply entangled with the ongoing Cordilian Fever epidemic, complicating an already herculean task.
The World Forum Recovery Coalition (WFRC) has injected over $4.2 billion into immediate relief— the largest single mobilization in Cordilian history. While much of these funds have gone directly to transitional shelters, medical supplies, and infrastructural repair, leaked budget memos suggest up to 18% of the WFRC’s earmarked reconstruction grants have been reallocated to “security oversight” and “legal counsel,” line items that critics argue serve to bolster host governments’ leverage over aid corridors.
WFRC officials report that 25 former emergency shelters in Okhoa and Northern Krauanagaz have been refitted as combined fever-treatment wards and aid distribution hubs, up from 8 in early March. Mobile clinics staffed by Krauanagazan and Emeraldian medical teams have reached 312 remote villages in Krauanagaz, Mitallduk, and Okhoa since mid-March, conducting both quake-injury follow-ups and Cordilian Fever screenings.
Krauanagazan CDC reports show daily new Cordilian Fever cases in quake-affected districts have dropped from 1,650 in late February to 300 in April. Yet experts warn that several indicators caution against complacency. Doctors Without Borders (NLL) says field-lab capacity remains constrained, with only 35% of suspected cases in remote camps tested due to reagent shortages.
