MORE THAN 250 PEOPLE ARE KILLED IN FLOODS IN SOUTH AFRICA

  • 13/04/2022

After devastating floods caused havoc in the South African state of KwaZulu-Natal, the death toll has risen to more than 250. Local governments are seeking for a disaster declaration after some places received months' worth of rain in a single day.

Officials have described it as "one of the worst weather storms in our country's history." People have been trapped under buildings due to mudslides, and further floods are forecast.

According to reports, the rescue attempt is being impeded by low visibility as a helicopter continues to transport individuals to safety.
