The market town of Kousseri in the Far North Province of Cameroon, close to the border with Chad, has been struggling with major floods for a week, as two regional rivers, the Logone and Chari have had their confluence there, and are both seeing exceptionally high water levels that are predicted to rise further.
Homes in the town have been flooded and people were seen walking through knee-high muddy water, carrying possessions to try and save them from the floods, even as families have been left homeless and have built temporary shelters from sticks and sheets on dry higher ground.
