The Asian Development Bank has announced it is providing 200-thousand dollars to the Solomon Islands government to help fund humanitarian and relief efforts following the recent flash floods.
Earlier this month, prolonged heavy rain associated with a tropical storm caused severe flooding in the nation’s capital, Honiara, and across Guadalcanal province.
There were 21 deaths and a reported 52-thousand people have been affected, while major infrastructure including the sewerage system, water supplies, and major roads and bridges were badly damaged or destroyed.
