 Other parts of Africa, South African authorities have released emergency funds to help tens of thousands of people left without shelter, water and electricity by flash floods that watched away homes and roads and killed more than 300 people on the country's east coast. Finance Minister Enok Gadogwana said that an initial $68.30 million for emergency relief was available for immediate use and that more would follow. This week's floods in Kwanzulu, Natal province have knocked out power lines, shut down water services, interrupted oppressions at one of Africa's busiest ports and steering highways and beaches with debris.
