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

He says some affected villagers at Elombe who need to be relocated are demanding for individual tents to be erected in their mahangu fields to house them, but he says it is not possible.

Areas that are heavily affected in the Ongwediva Constituency are Eenghala village, Ohambungu, Okatope, Omatunda, Okadila, Oidiva, Onheleiwa, Ongwediva Sky 1,2 and 3 and Reception Area 1,2 and 3.

Efidi-lomulunga, Oshinyadhila number two and Elombe in the same constituency are also affected.

Oikango village in Ondangwa Rural and Oshoopala location have also not been spared by the flood in the Oshana Region.
