Ethiopia
floods
September 2006 |

Two of
the affected areas in Ethiopia are North and South Gonder.
These areas experience flooding every year, but the floods
this year are of a magnitude not seen for ten years. Such
severe flooding presents a great socio-economic threat for
the affected communities, who are often already vulnerable
and quickly exhaust their coping mechanisms.
