President Bishop visited areas affected by the horrific flooding in Pahl, and declared the end of major flooding more than a week after rushing and sudden rising waters swept through the low-lying river systems of the district, devastating major towns and leaving 138 people confirmed dead and more than 7 million displaced. Condolences from the President were accepted by residents who met her at a make-shift hospital in the city of Abagene, where flooding destroyed entire communities.
Disaster relief crews have been working nonstop for the week since the flooding began to recede, searching through destroyed homes and work places for the 40+ people who are still recorded missing and presumed dead, which is raising fears that the death toll will rise once again, and more substantially.
