Turning to Malawi. Hundreds of people are stranded in the southern part of the country after heavy rainfall hit the region. Relief agencies on the ground are currently trying to transport in emergency humanitarian supplies, including medicine. Our correspondent Daniel Arapmoi is in Southern Malawi and brings us this report.

Hundreds of thousands of people are currently stranded in Southern Malawi following heavy rains and floods that have devastated the region. The floods have left overwhelming number of people in need of humanitarian assistance. So far, the floods have affected over 900,000 people in 14 districts, displacing over 16,000 households, mainly in the Southern Region. Key concerns among the flood victims are emergency shelter, clean water and medical supplies.

REINGHARD CHAVULA COMMISSIONER, NSANJE DISTRICT "So far the government has provided food, it's also providing shelter and in collaboration with some partners, it's also trying to provide some water, tents, even medication to the people that have been displaced."

DANIEL ARAPMOI NSANJE, MALAWI "Malawian government is trying to mobilize resources to aid the flood victims but humanitarian assistance remain in short supply."

The extent and severity of the current flooding in Southern Malawi is overwhelming relief organizations-- leaving many struggling to respond in areas that are hard to reach. Government officials on the ground say the situation is becoming unbearable given the unprecedented levels of destruction.

ISAAC FALAKEZA CAMP MANAGER "We don't have enough food at all so we need a lot of food, we don't know perhaps the lorries we see here has food that will be distributed to us because up to now we haven't received any food at all."

With more rains expected to fall south of the country, the affected families can only hope for a rapid intervention from aid agencies. Daniel Arapmoi, CGTN, Nsanje, Southern Malawi.
