The Oshana Regional Council snagged a military helicopter to rescue drought-stricken communities trapped by massive flooding. Namibian Defence Force aircraft will zoom into hard-hit zones like Uuvudhiya, Ompundja, and Okatyali, delivering lifelines to stranded farmers and cattle herders.
Regional governor Elia Irimari emphasized the chopper's critical mission across northern Namibia. Devastating rains transformed landscapes into impassable waterways, cutting off vulnerable populations from essential supplies. Entire villages face dire humanitarian challenges, with communities marooned by swelling water pans.
Farm owners can help by stashing emergency food parcels at the Uukwangula warehouse. The helicopter stands ready to airlift critical provisions where ground transport becomes impossible. Farmers with herds stuck in flooded grazing lands will receive emergency support through these aerial rescue missions.
Water levels from Angolan floods have decimated rural infrastructure. Schools and remote settlements sit isolated without basic services. The military aircraft represent a crucial intervention strategy to prevent potential human and livestock catastrophes across affected regions.
Irimari stressed the helicopter's expansive rescue potential beyond Oshana. Regional authorities recognize the urgent need to support communities battling environmental challenges. By mobilizing military resources, they aim to deliver hope and survival essentials to Namibians facing nature's most unforgiving conditions.
