Due to the flooding of many areas in the Lower Shire, it is becoming a nightmare to reach most of the affected communities by roads.

The Department of Disaster Management Affairs, in collaboration with the Malawi Defence Force (MDF) and various humanitarian partners, is working tirelessly to reach out to all affected people with relief items and social services, at all costs.

Choppers are being used in the Lower Shire to ferry relief items in hard-to-reach areas, as well as ferrying the sick from hard to reach areas for medical attention in nearby health facilities, as shown in some of the photos captured yesterday in Nsanje District.
