We are now trying to help pregnant women who are also caught in the aftermath of the floods. Sick people cannot even get to the clinics because of the high level of waters surrounding their homes.

We need food parcels that do not require cooking, it's impossible to cook in an environment where its still flooded.

He is visiting the area around 13:30 to see the extent of the damage and will fly over to see the affected areas.

We have a vast area to cover and so assessment will take a few days. Engineers have been appointed to conduct the assessment and we only expect a report back on Wednesday or Thursday.
