Heavy rainfall continues to plague the country, causing rivers and their tributaries to overflow. In light of this ongoing crisis, Malian authorities have urged residents to evacuate flood-prone areas. They have advised citizens to clear blocked waterways and avoid traveling on flooded roads, whether on foot, motorbike, or in vehicles.

Residents are also cautioned to stay away from swollen rivers and to seek shelter indoors during heavy rains.

On August 23, the Malian government declared a “state of national disaster,” resulting in the postponement of the school year start date from October 1 to November 4.
