East to West coast flooding is the result of weekss of torrential rainfall across the continent of Africa. Over one million people are in need of immediate aid in over 14 countries.
"Our greatest concern is to reach children who are most vulnerable, but roads and bridges have been destroyed, making access difficult," reports Paul Sitnam World Vision's emergency response director for West Africa.
The floods have washed away not only the roads, but homes and food as well.
Life threatening as the flooding is, the greatest challenges of survival are still yet to come for sub-Sahara Africa. All of this excess water serves as a haven for breeding mosquitoes. And the mosquitoes in Africa carry, as you prob. know, the Malaria virus.
We are running a campaign that allows you to send a life saving Malaria Net to a family in Africa for just $10. Every $10 buys a bed net, distributes it to a family and educates them on its use. Also, a generous grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will match every donation! Join our Nothing But Nets Team and to save a family from Malaria! 2% of our goal met!
After days of unrelenting rain, Tabasco, Mexico is completely under water. Authorities in Mexico say that as many as 700,000 people have been affected by the severe flooding. Tabasco has a similar elevation level like New Orleans; it is a low-lying state.
