Floods have wreaked havoc in northern Senegal, leaving behind a desolate scene. In the Podor department, no fewer than 67 villages have been submerged, thirteen in the Dagana region and two in the Saint-Louis region. This level of flooding is unprecedented since the 1950s, hitting agricultural areas vital to local communities.
Conclusion
This historic flooding of the Senegal River highlights the urgent need for solutions for the affected populations, who are facing considerable losses and precarious living conditions in the reception camps. Support efforts are needed to provide sustainable assistance to these devastated communities.
