Floods in Chad: Tens of thousands of livestock drowned • FRANCE 24 English

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.

  1. It’s been said… the impending abrupt & irreversible climate change inevitably leads to loss of habitat, famine, diseases, and mass extinction.
    Amor Fati… Memento Mori ☮️💜

  3. Bill Gates weather manipulation tactics. Look up. They are poisoning your sky's and your people. Wake up over there.

  6. This is the first I personally have heard of this. The media concentrate on the latest horror stories (Valencia) or the stupidity of world politics (Trump) while good people all over the planet are fighting a battle with climate change which we can not hope to win.
    Useless to brush these events aside as 'no problem to me' because wherever you are, whatever your region/continent/country we are all in this together. The knock on effect of what is happening in Africa and other nations will soon be on the doorstep of the western world – albeit in the form of food shortages if nothing else.
    So think on brothers and sisters – get serious about what is happening and the lies you are being fed – and help those in need because even if you personally are short on compassion this will soon be you.

  7. "Climate change isn't real!" every single prediction about climate becoming a reality, except FASTER than expected 😏

  8. Such a disaster to have lot ones hard work like this. All of the best to the Chadian people
    From the Republic of South Africa 🇿🇦

  10. Looking round me food production is beginning to suffer. The orchard produced a poor crop. The normally most productive plum variety totally failed.
