UGANDA UEBERSCHWEMMUNG
Flood waters are seen in Magoro, a town in eastern Uganda that is surrounded by floodwater and has become inaccessible by road, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007. In Magoro, the only route out of town to reach a hospital or market is by helicopter, boat or wading through waist-high water for 5 kilometers (3 miles). Across Africa, torrential downpours and flash floods have submerged whole towns and washed away bridges, farms and schools. More than a million people across at least 17 countries have been affected by the rains since the summer, according to the United Nations. At least 200 people have been killed, and hundreds of thousands are displaced. (AP Photo/Katy Pownall)
