afrol News - Half of Benin devastated by floods
Devastating flooding has affected nearly half the communes of Benin. According to the government, 700,000 people have been affected, including more than 200,000 people whose homes have been damaged or destroyed.
A large humanitarian aid operation is now in its beginnings in Benin, a country usually not making headlines for natural disasters. But Beninese authorities and aid agencies have tough competition with other West And Central African countries, where a total of 1.5 million people are affected by the region-wide floods.
