The United Nations family of organizations in Namibia has donated commodities worth N$2 million towards assisting flood victims in the Ohangwena and Oshana regions.

The United Nations family came together and mobilized humanitarian assistance to people affected by floods, saying disasters and climate risks pose serious threats to key sectors of Namibia and the ultimate realization of Sustainable Development Goals.

The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) President McHenry Venaani has expressed his disappointment in the government saying that it is failing to find a permanent solution to mitigate the effects of reoccurring floods in the country.

He says over the past 30 years government could have built water catchment dams to harvest flood water and to address the effects of floods.

He made these remarks when he donated mattresses and tents to the value of N$30 000 to flood victims at Oshikango in the Ohangwena Region.
