Mali, Early December 2022 to January 2023Local media in Mali reported flooding in Tombouctou Region after a rise in levels of the Niger river in early December 2022. Reports said the communes of Timbuktu, Diré, Gourma-Rharous and Goundam were all affected. Around 620 hectares of fields were flooded, damaging crops, mostly rice. Flooding also damaged or destroyed homes. More than a thousand households were affected, according to media reports. UNOCHA reported the Sourou river overflowed in mid-January 2023, flooding areas of Baye commune (also known as Baï) in Bankass circle in the Mopti region. The flooding affected 607 people, including 382 children, leaving them without shelter or livelihood. Humanitarian partners mobilized to assess the needs for immediate response. The Baye commune is a hard-to-reach area due to the presence of non-state armed groups, hostile to any technical services or humanitarian partner presence.Sun 22 Jan 2023Provided by Copernicus EMS GloFAS
