Namibia: European Commission Grant to Assist Caprivi Flood Victims

The European Commission (EC) on Tuesday granted US $112,000 to assist flood victims in the Caprivi region of north-eastern Namibia. On 12 May 2003, floods caused by the Zambezi River bursting its banks submerged 22 villages in the Kabbe constituency of the Caprivi region, some 1,400 km north-east of the capital, Windhoek.
