Flood in Namibia

The devastating floods, resulting from heavy rainfall also in neighbouring Angola and Zambia, are expected to expand in floodplains until the end of March. Present water levels are the highest in the last 30-40 years and possibly heading for the highest ever on record.
The Namibian Government has declared official flood emergency and disaster conditions.
