When it comes to rain, Namibia seems to have the south with too little and the north with too much. In the North rains and the Okavango River, which over night at 8, 67 meter reached its highest level in 41 years yearly causes havoc. Just look at these rainfall figures of the past 24 hours at various towns in the north: Oshakati 77, 8 mm, Odibo 50, 0 mm, Eenhana 38, 5 mm, Ulupumbu 36, 2 mm, Ekamba 32, 4 mm, Tsandi 28, 4 mm.
Please pray for these poor people whose lives are being disrupted as they are pushed out of their homes to several tent camps and children who can not go to school. In the Caprivi region there are now 10 500 people in 19 temporary emergency camps.
Intercede for the local authorities and the Red Cross for wisdom to assist those in need. Pray for family lives to be restored. Trust God for more permanent solutions for the flood problem. Pray that people will come forward to be a blessing to the flood victims.
