Floods in Lesotho


Below are a couple of quotes from an online article regarding the state of Lesotho in light of all of the rain and flooding:

"The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that in some of the worst hit districts up to 60 percent of crops have been destroyed while nationally at least 4,700 livestock, mainly sheep and goats, have died."

"It's going to affect food security in the worst way because Lesotho doesn't produce enough food as it is," Matsiliso Mmojaki, head of the national Disaster Management Authority (DMA), told IRIN."



These are just some of the difficulties that the people are facing and the situation will only get worse as harvest time approaches and there is no fruit for the people's labor. Please be praying for the Basotho, that in their great lack and need that they will reach out to the One who can satisfy them.
