Since the end of July, nearly 2 million people have been reported as disaster victims due to widespread flooding in Chad. This year’s rainy season, running to the end of November, has been particularly fierce, with the UN and local authorities reporting over 570 deaths from torrential rains. Beyond the striking images of capital city N’Djamena submerged in water, there are more subtle damages with longer-lasting consequences on agricultural land. Thousands of hectares have been lost, along with tens of thousands of livestock drowned or dead from illness.
