The appeal comes as two hundred and forty-six people are reported killed and nearly two thousand others rendered homeless by floods since December last year.

 

The Minister in charge of Local Government, SAVIOUR KASUKUWERE said floods had swept through villages, destroying roads, crops and livestock.

 

He said the rains have also devastated seventy-four schools and seventy dams, raising concerns for communities downstream.

 

Furthermore; the Transport Minister JORAM GUMBO said five bridges on major highways have been swept away nationwide.
