In South Africa, the death toll from heavy flooding around the city of Durban has risen to more than 300 in what South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa called a “catastrophe of enormous proportions” and a “part of climate change.” The disaster struck as parts of KwaZulu-Natal province received several months’ worth of rain in a single day, triggering landslides that trapped people under buildings and floodwaters that swept away bridges and houses. This is a Durban resident who managed to save his children but lost all his possessions to the floods.
