    Raining has always been thought as a blessing for countries with crops’ productions. On the other hand, relentless rain might cause equal harm to countries in terms of floods. In the case of Angola, many have been forced to flee from their residential areas to elsewhere due to extreme flooding. Local officials estimated at least 25,000 civilians have been made homeless.

    Furthermore, flooding also brings about problems such as accessibility and electricity supplies. In worst scenario, it contributes to the rapid spread of epidemic, namely cholera and malaria. Measures have since been launched to help locals against such happenings. For instances, nettings and water purification tablets are being distributed across the affected areas.

    The rain is expected to last for a few more days before subsiding.
