news

Chad’s national weather agency said, “Chad’s heaviest seasonal rainfall in more than 30 years has left parts of the capital N’Djamena navigable only by boat and forced thousands to flee their flooded homes over the past month.”

According to UN humanitarian office (OCHA) 442,000 people in Chad had been affected by the floods as of the end of August. Food shortages and malaria are among the greatest risks facing those affected, and thousands have been displaced or made homeless.
