Summary:
"In India, heavy rains at the end of August and early September produced
flooding across much of the state of Orissa. Flooding affected over 3,500
villages and resulted in 14 deaths (UNDP).
Exceptionally heavy rains affected the Sahel region of Africa during late
August and into September. Flooding affected parts Burkina Faso, Mali,
Mauritania and Niger, causing at least 15 deaths and destroying thousands
of homes (IFRC). In northern Nigeria, flooding was characterized as the
worst in more than 20 years in Kaduna state. Thousands of people were
forced to flee their homes as the Kaduna River rose above the flood stage
on September 7 (IFRC)."
