Flood in Malawi
Ongoing torrential weather has been causing flooding in Malawi throughout January 2015.
It's estimated that 75,000 people have been forced from their homes by the disaster, and at least fifty have died.
The flooding has impacted half of Malawi; 15 of the nation's 28 districts. Malawi's president has declared a national state of disaster and appealed for aid from other countries, stating that the scale of the flooding was more than they could manage alone.
The disaster has also taken a toll on Malawi's crops, damaging or destroying fields with the rising flood waters. Malawi is dependent on their agriculture and there are concerns for the nation's future food supply following this disaster.
Some communities have also been left isolated by the flooding, as the flood waters have cut off access to roads and railway lines.
