The United Nations agency is in process of helping the Uganda for lack of food because of flood. If the money is not given to Uganda. The supplies will run out by December. Since the food is running out quickly. The families who were affected by the flood should have nothing else to eat. The flood that was overspread in Africa caused million people in 14 countries to suffer from flooding. In eastern Uganda, the rainfall was heaviest in 35 years. The agency said the flood influenced 300,000 people and the crop losses were 90 percent in many places. The continuation of the flooding will delay planting planed and postpone until at least February. The situation is terrible and thousand people lost their homes, belongings, and crops. UN needs 17 million to buy food for flood victims and 3.2 million US to provide trucks, boats, aircraft and emergency road and bridge repairs.


Natural disaster can demolish country unexpected and no one cannot do anything about it. Unless the nation is prepared for it. Aftermath of the disastrous incident cannot be imagined since it is terrifying image. Their Citizens die or get wounded, their homes, belongs are all gone. To recover from the natural disaster such as flood. As I have stated, it takes 17 million to buy food fro the flood victim and 3.2 million US to provide trucks, boats, aircraft and emergency road and bridge repairs. But, if country spends one fifths of that money for the prevention of natural disaster. Not only it would be beneficial for the citizens, but also it would help impede the natural disaster.
