Southern Africa Hardest Hit by Floods

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported excessive rainfall is causing havoc for the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in seven Southern African countries. 

The hardest countries are Namibia and Angola, which are experiencing the worst floods since 1963. Twenty-one people have already lost their lives and an estimated 200 000 people have been affected in Angola.

OCHA says the number is likely to increase once UN aid workers are able to reach areas that currently are inaccessible because of the floods.
