Food Shortages Feared in Angola

Aid agencies have warned that devastating floods that have hit 220 000 people in Angola could cause food shortages in a country where farming remains poor after decades of war.

Catholic Relief Services’ Juan Sheenan, point out that, "Food security is always an issue in Cunene. It is very dry and arid most the year but then when the rains come, they come with such force they wash away a lot of crops which makes things worse."

The worst-hit provinces are Cunene, Kuando Kubango and Moxico where heavy rains have damaged buildings crops in other regions, including the capital Luanda.
