Senegal postpones start of school year following destructive flooding
Senegal has postponed the start of the school year across the country after the recent heavy rain and destructive flooding.
The country’s vulnerability to flooding was evident in 2024, when the Senegal River burst its banks in 2024 affecting more than 56,000 people in the east of the country.
At least five people have been reported dead in the flooding which comes weeks before the country is due to host the 2026 Summer Youth Olympics.
