Over 1.000 people become homeless following heavy rains

Luanda - At least 1.491 people are homeless in Negage City, following the heavy rains that hit the northern Uige Province, a religious delegation noticed.

The religious team belongs to the Evangelic Reformed Church of Angola (IERA), who travelled to the region to learn about the situation following the rains.

The dislodged people are living in residences of family, friends and neighbours.

"The hail rain also damaged several plantations, having destroyed great areas of cultivation (…)”, he said.
