From Our Own Correspondent: Malawi's Floods

Rosie Blunt on how Malawi's devastating floods have affected local residents.

Rosie Blunt in Malawi reports from Malawi's Phalombe district, where hundreds have died in the floods caused by cyclone Bansi. She visits two villages that have been reduced to mud. The local people have been displaced and now live in refugee camps. They have lost everything, from their homes to their crops and money.
Floods don't just kill by drowning she says, but by destroying crops, causing famine, and disease.
