In a preliminary assessment released on Monday, June 5, 2023, Jerry Chandler, the Director of the Civil Protection Office (DPC), stated that at least 12,779 families were impacted and at least 13,633 homes were flooded across many departments.
“The Western region (metropolitan area) suffered the most effects. The North West, Nippes, and the South-East are the other ecologically fragile areas of the nation that have sustained significant harm. 42 people have died, 85 have been injured, and 11 are still missing according to the most recent preliminary report.
In addition to many highways being cut off by landslides and flooding, a bridge was submerged by the river’s overflowing waters. According to Chandler, damage assessment is still happening, and teams of emergency responders are being organized and working to assist the affected areas. Civil protection volunteers are progressively growing alongside UN relief organizations.
