Flood |
Romania |
Flood,Serbia Montenegro: Due to heavy rains in April and snow melting in Romania?s Carpathian Mountains, the water level of the Tamis River (on the Romania/Serbia border) has risen rapidly. As a consequence, on 20 April at 21:00 the water overflowed the river banks and broke the dike on the Romanian side of the river, flooding the area surrounding the Jasa Tomic village in Serbia. The village is situated in the municipality of Secanj, in the eastern part of Vojvodina where 2,996 inhabitants (1,000 households) live. Sixty percent (60%) of the population is elderly, and forty percent (40%) live on agricultural production. Initial reports indicate that 700 houses are completely flooded, and 100 have been destroyed by the water. Since most of the houses are constructed out of clay bricks, there is a fear that many more houses will be heavily damaged or completely destroyed when the water withdraws.

Flood |
Tanzania |
Unprecedented heavy rainfall in Zanzibar Island for two consecutive days (17-18 April 2005) has led to heavy flooding in what has been described as the worst in 40 years. The flooding has completely submerged several hundred houses, totally damaged a few and destroyed infrastructure in six of the hardest hit administrative locations/wards of Mwanakelekwe, Jang'ombe, Sebuleni, Karahani, Mombasa and Miembeni in Zanzibar urban.
To date, no resulting deaths or injuries have been reported by the government; however, 150 families have been formally registered to have been rendered homeless, and have been given temporary accommodation in three schools (closed due to the flooding). As of Wednesday 20 April, 2005, sixty-four (64) houses had been destroyed in urban areas and 10 in rural areas. All household items were lost in
the deluge. |

Drought |
Djibouti |
Djibouti is currently facing worsening drought conditions due to the consequences of two consecutive failed rainy seasons, where erratic rainfall patterns adversely affected the replenishment of water catchments and the regeneration of pastures. Delayed rains resulted in abnormal pastoral migration patterns and a further depletion of already exhausted pasture and browse in all grazing areas. The rain has also been insufficient to replenish much-needed water sources throughout the country and it is below the threshold for pasture regeneration. All water catchments in the south are practically dry.
The food security and livelihoods of 5,000 families (28,650 people) have been severely compromised by limited water and pasture. Significant over-grazing of pasture and the depletion of water sources have contributed to widespread livestock deaths and a considerable decline in milk productivity. The remaining animals are in bad conditions due mainly to opportunistic parasites and diseases.

Volcano |
Comoros |
The Karthala Volcano has been showing signs of increasing activity over the past week. This activity has escalated further since Saturday 16 April in late afternoon, with clouds of ash and smoke affecting a number of villages in the Dimani and Pidjani regions in the eastern part of the island. Reports also indicate that some rivers flowing on the flank of the volcano have become polluted with volcanic debris.
On Sunday 17 April, populations from these villages began to flee in fear of gas and lava flow. According to the local authorities, as many as 10,000 people may have fled from their homes in the eastern region in order to seek refuge in other parts of the island. |
