达喀尔( 法新社) ——联合国在星期二说有377人死于中非和西非的洪水,自从6月的雨季开始,已有150万人受灾。

“2010年已经历了最多的人受灾和死于洪水”,联合国人道事务协调厅在达喀尔的法新社收到的新闻简报中说。

尼日利亚死亡人数最多,有118人,其次是加纳(52人),苏丹(50人),贝宁(43人),乍得(24人),毛里塔尼亚(21人),布基纳法索(16人),喀麦隆(13人),冈比亚(12人),而其它国家报告死亡人数少于10人。

“这些洪水恶化了尼日尔和乍得的形势,他们已经在面对一场严重的粮食危机”,联合国人道事务协调厅说。

“在尼日利亚、喀麦隆、尼日尔和乍得,雨导致了霍乱蔓延。”它补充说。

377 dead in west and central African floods: UN

DAKAR (AFP) – The United Nations said Tuesday that 377 people had died in flooding in central and west Africa, with nearly 1.5 million people affected since the start of the rainy season in June.

"2010 has seen the largest number of people affected and dying from flooding", the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a news bulletin received by AFP in Dakar.

The highest toll was in Nigeria with 118, followed by Ghana (52), Sudan (50), Benin (43), Chad (24), Mauritania (21), Burkina Faso (16), Cameroon (13), Gambia (12), with other countries reporting less than 10 dead.

Most people were affected in Benin (360,000), followed by Nigeria (300,000), Niger (226,611), Chad (150,000), Burkina Faso (105,481), Sudan (74,970) and Mauritania (50,815).

Other countries had less than 50,000 people suffering from the floods.

"These floods worsened the situation in Niger and Chad, which are already facing a severe food crisis", OCHA said.

"In Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad rain is leading to cholera epidemics," it added.

The rain "also disrupted the start of the school year in several countries and led to losses in the social and economic infrastructure, houses and farming".

Last year floods killed 195 people in west Africa and affected 823,291 others.

Quoting figures from state-run National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the UN body said that in Nigeria's northwest states of Sokoto and Kebbi, heavy downpours destroyed many road and water infrastructure.

NEMA, working in conjunction with aid and relief agencies of the UN, the MSF and the Nigerian Red Cross, brought urgent relief assistance to the affected areas, the OCHA statement said.

The government plans to spend 150 million dollars for urgent rehabilitation in Kebbi and Sokoto States while the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has allocated 312,288 dollars to assist 3,000 families badly affected by the floods.

Cholera has killed 1,182 people in Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation of 150 million, OCHA said.
