Diese Info habe ich gerade eben vom Monitoring and Information Center der EU erhalten: Es geht also wieder los…
SOUTHERN AFRICA (09 Jan.) Early rains have triggered flooding that has displaced thousands of people, drowned livestock and put large numbers of children at risk from life-threatening diseases. About 1.5 million Zambians may have to flee their ho-mes. A lot of extensive damage has been done. Fields are waterlogged and crops have been damaged. Aid agencies are warning the lives of tens of thousands are in danger as rising waters inundate southern Africa. Zambia put half of its territory on alert, while floods in Mozambique, fed by heavy rains from there and Zimbabwe, kil-led six people and cut transport links to neighbouring countries. Relief food and shel-ter might be needed, as waters that had reached a depth of 6m forced people in Mo-zambique to seek refuge in trees. Source: Reuters / nzherald / VoiceAfrica /
