The flooding has caused damage to houses and personal belongings, agricultural land and equipment. Some villages in the rural and poorer part of the province have been inaccessible so far. An estimated 714 families (approx. 3,500 people) are affected by the flooding, many of which had to be evacuated from their houses and sheltered in neighbouring villages (with relatives, neighbours or friends). |
