The floods have swept away livestock, destroyed crops and damaged houses rendering one thousand people homeless. |
The people had no food because of the drought - now the floods have destroyed maize, millet and sorghum crops along the banks of the rivers. At least 457 hectares of land are under water. People are still being rescued with the help of boats and canoes. |
We need food, drinking water and tents urgently and as the rains continue we will also require medicines to prevent the outbreak of waterborne diseases like cholera. |
