At least 28 deaths as well as 124 injuries recorded after a storm brings in heavy rains and flooding in southern Malawi
Torrential rains and flash floods uprooted some 230,000 people in 15 of Malawi's 28 districts in June 2015, destroying or damaging nearly half a million houses.
Chipiliro Khamula, a spokesman for Malawi's Department of Disaster Management in the Ministry of Homeland Security, said that 28 deaths had been recorded as of Saturday, as well as 124 injuries. Malawi's President Arthur Peter Mutharika declared a state of disaster in the region late on Friday, after the storm caused rivers to break their banks, leaving villages underwater, and in some areas knocked out power and water supplies.Mutharika directed emergency relief services to be coordinated immediately and also ordered Malawi's army to assist those trapped and displaced.
