A new wave of floods has hit Ntoroko district in South West of Mt. Rwenzori region.
Uganda Red Cross Society said Wednesday that the floods left most houses and latrines submerged in water.
The rising water levels at Lake Albert in Ntoroko district, over 3,000 families have been left homeless after their houses were submerged and this seems to be a worrying number of the population being displaced.
The Lake Victoria and Albert continue to roar as the volumes of water increase due to heavy rains falling in Uganda.
Pregnant women in parishes of Rwangara, Kamuga, Katanga and Kachwankumu in Kanara Sub-County that have been badly affected by the floods can no longer access antenatal care due to flooded roads.
“We dispatched a team to support the affected families,” Red Cross said.
“Our assessment team recorded a number of health risks,” Red Cross said at the same time it was managing floods affected communities in Kasese and Bundibugyo.
