The Eastern Cape government has mobilized disaster management teams to aid communities affected by severe flooding in East London and Gqeberha. The floods, which struck the province on Sunday morning, resulted in the tragic deaths of at least nine people—seven in Gqeberha and two in East London—with additional drownings suspected. The torrential rains have left more than 2,000 residents homeless in areas such as Duncan Village, Stoney Drift, Mzamomhle, and Mdantsane in East London. In response, efforts are being made to provide necessary assistance to the displaced individuals. This situation underscores the importance of reliable news sources in keeping the public informed about critical events. News24, celebrating 25 years of journalism, invites readers to explore their free trials for comprehensive coverage that aims to inform, empower, and inspire.
