In the east of Africa, hundreds of people were killed by heavy rainfall. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave their homes.
In Somalia, a village has been completely wiped out by the water of flooded rivers
Somalia, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Ethiopia have been hit hard by the water. In addition to the Somali village, a hospital in Uganda has also been almost completely destroyed.
Thousands of people have to leave their homes and find shelter elsewhere. Many people have moved to higher areas, where they are received in schools.
The Ugandan prime minister’s spokesman says the coronavirus is making the situation more difficult. “People have to keep their distance, but how is that possible in a situation like this.”
More than 100,000 people have fled the high water in Ethiopia and Kenya. In those countries, too, severe weather disturbs the fight against the coronavirus.
“The refugees are brought together in camps, where there is a high chance of contracting the virus,” said an employee of the Kenyan Ministry of Health.
