The United Nations (UN) in South Africa says it is ready to support the government’s response following the devastating floods in KwaZulu-Natal.

400 people have so far lost their lives and thousands of homesAs cleaning-up operations – following the torrential rains – intensify in KwaZulu-Natal, humanitarian aid is desperately needed. Homes were washed away, lives lost and infrastructure destroyed by the floods.“We stand ready to extend our support to the government’s response and to communities affected many of whom experienced the same devastation in 2019.

Abdool also says these recurring floods are a stark reminder that a just transition in the country should not only focus on decarbonising, but also pay attention to adaptation as climate change is real. “Our town planners must rise to the occasion of this devastating challenge by ensuring houses are not built on waterways and extent town planning laws are implemented without fear or favour.”Unicef’s Muriel Mafico, says, “Unicef South Africa is working with provincial and national government in response to the recent floods that hit KwaZulu Natal. Once again, we stand together.

Authorities say with the death toll at over 440, they expect the number to rise as more bodies are discovered in one of the worst floods in the history of South Africa.
