The Kunene Region has resorted to hiring private transport for the distribution of drought relief in the region.

This was revealed by the Kunene Regional Governor, Marius Sheya, following concerns raised by Khorixas Constituency Councillor, Sebastian !Gobs, who last month indicated that the distribution programme is hampered by a lack of transportation.

The Kunene Region accounts for close to 30,000 people who have been affected by the prolonged and extreme drought since 2013, which has put a strain on food security and agricultural activities.

The Kunene Regional Governor, Marius Sheya, has urged the public to refrain from taking disturbing videos.

Sheya made these remarks during the handover of materials and food parcels worth more than N$78,000 by the Japanese Embassy to the Kazetjindire Angelika Muharukua Maternity waiting home in Opuwo.

Sheya was making reference to the video of an expecting mother who gave birth in front of the Opuwo district hospital, highlighting that the woman was in labor while on the way to the hospital.
