Houses Gone, Crops Destroyed, Roads Washed Away
“It is the worst flooding in over 50 years,” reports, “the Guardian” website. The grim story continues with, “Homes swept away like matchsticks, vast plains turned to mud, fields of precious crops drowned.”
Estimates put the death toll at well over 200, with 200,000 displaced and the crop devastation widespread. It is especially bad in southern Malawi where the floods were the most destructive. Peter Mutharika, Malawi’s President, has declared half of Malawi a “disaster zone.”
