A traditional leader in
eastern Sierra Leone's Kenema district says 300 residents of his village are at
risk of starvation and disease after heavy flooding hit the area. Chief Gassimu Saffa of
Waima Njeila told me that all their crops have been washed away by the heavy
downpour witnessed in the area.
BBC reports that hundreds
of others remain trapped and have been without food and shelter in the southern
Bo district for days now.
