The Roads Authority (RA) says it will spend N$230 million to restore damaged roads in the four northern regions of Oshana, Ohangwena, Oshikoto, Omusati and Kunene. 

Residents, including children from Ohangwena Region's Onamhinda village, were relocated to higher grounds after their houses and mahangu fields were submerged by floodwaters from southern Angola.

The Ohangwena Region has so far relocated 235 people from the Oshikango and Engela constituencies. These two constituencies are among the most affected by the floods, along with Ohangwena, Ongenga, and Endola.

Floods have affected multiple communities in the Kunene Region, leaving thousands in need of urgent assistance.

Kunene Governor Vipuakuje Muharuka engaged stakeholders in the region to familiarise himself with the situation on the ground. 

Many makeshift homes near riverbeds were damaged or destroyed this rainy season, which has been marked by flash floods, forcing residents to relocate from flood-prone areas. 

Despite this, some individuals choose to remain in these high-risk zones, living under the constant threat of flooding.

The Governor of the Zambezi Region, Alufea Sampofu, says education is one of the sectors facing challenges in the region, resulting in poor performance.

Sampofu was speaking during a courtesy call by the European Union delegation.

The president of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, has called for the establishment of a special fund to assist flood victims in the northern parts of the country.

Venaani tabled and motivated a motion in the National Assembly appealing for help for the population affected by the floods.

The death toll from drowning incidents due to the floods has increased to four. 

Ongwediva Constituency Councillor Andreas Uutoni is dismayed by residents who are trapped in houses by flood waters but are refusing to be relocated.

Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila concluded a three-day visit to areas affected by flood waters from Angola.

Her last stop was in flood-prone areas in the Outapi Constituency.

The Premier was accompanied by Governor Erginus Endjala.
