Zangnanando: Water level exceeds critical threshold, several localities underwater

Flooding from Lake Azili and several watercourses has swallowed up significant agricultural areas and many dwellings. Forced to harvest early, farmers fear heavy losses, especially since the season already had a delayed start.

Faced with the severity of the situation, Mayor Justin Kanninkpo has ordered a census of the affected households and producers, in collaboration with village and neighborhood leaders. While waiting for an aid plan, he urges the population to be cautious and avoid flood-prone areas.

The mobilization of local authorities, communities, and rescue services is considered crucial to limit the impact of this natural disaster.
