As the floods ravage Malawi, concerns on food security increases

Food security has become a major concern as torrential rains are expected to continue in the southern African country of Malawi.
According to Eye Witness News, more than 200 people were confirmed dead and many were missing or trapped in inaccessible areas, following flash floods caused by days of torrential rains exacerbated by Tropical Cyclone Bansi. 
The rains have swept away roads, bridges and destroyed thousands of crops. An estimated 100 000 people have been left homeless.
