|
Flood |
Namibia |
The current floods are affecting four constituencies, Kabbe, Katima Rural, Linyanti and Kongola. Some families have already been displaced by the floods especially those residing close to the river banks and the nearby flood plains such as Lisikili, Isize and Kabbe. The displaced communities lack basic necessities such as shelter, clean water and sanitation. The roads in the flood plain will be impassable in a few days. The government has identified temporary relocation sites at Lusese, Schuckmansburg, Kabbe and Impalila, but all of them are not yet cleared. No proper assessment has been done and the situation is worsened by lack of transport facilities such as vehicles and boats. Most of the fields in these villages are underwater and crops that are far from maturing are completely submerged.
A total of 1,569 students from 11 schools in the Kabbe and Katima rural constituencies will be relocated to higher ground as their schools are already surrounded by flood water. The schools in upper land need assistance in the form of shelter and food for students and teachers. The villages located in low lying areas have also been put on alert for evacuation if the river continues rising and posing more threat of floods. Floods come against a background of high levels of poverty, worsened by one of the highest rates of HIV and AIDS prevalence region in the country. |
