Karibib Usakos Road

Damage to the road after heavy rainfalls during the night of the 30^th March 2008.

The flood has displaced thousands of people and communal farmers have lost around 25000 animals and 17 schools in the Ohangwena Region alone have been adversely affected.

A report compiled by the Namibia Early Warning and Food Information Unit (NEWFIU) states that there will be an overall reduction in cereal harvest in Namibia for the 2008/9 marketing season because the 2007/8 crop season shows a decrease of 14% compared to the yearly average of 6%.

The regions of Caprivi, Kavango, Omusati, Ohangwena and Oshana are expected to report a 23% reduction in their yields for this year.

The government has already put in motion a plan to source large quantities of cereal to prevent widespread hunger in the flooded regions. Current estimates show that N$50 million would be needed for infrastructural repairs in the regions of Oshana, Ohangwena and Omusati.
