"A million Africans already suffering from severe flooding have been warned of further misery to come with heavy rain predicted from West to East.
"The United Nations says 250 people have died and more than 600,000 people been made homeless across 17 countries.
"The World Food Programme has urged governments to do all they can to help provide immediate relief.
"WFP has launched an $60m appeal for food aid to Uganda alone, where it estimates 1.7 m people will go hungry."
Comment: This is a disaster worth our attention and our generosity.
Ia it a symptom of global warming. There is no way of knowing. But is the apparent increase in the rate of these floods and weather disasters such a result. Probably. JAD
