OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

The region is half-way through the rainy season and the cyclone season is due to peak this month, a situation that puts several agricultural areas along the rivers in southern African countries – Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa – at high risk of flooding, according to FAO.
FAO is participating in various flood impact assessments throughout the region and providing governments with technical advice on flood monitoring systems, preparedness, and measures to prevent the outbreak or spread of animal disease, while simultaneously preparing for possible agricultural aid interventions such as the delivery of quality seeds, and restoring agricultural activities after flood waters recede.
In Lesotho, for example, one of the poorest countries in the sub-region, an FAO assessment team found that in some of the flooded areas, up to 60 per cent of the harvest has been lost and more than 4,700 livestock, mainly sheep and goats have died.
