National Disaster Management Agency warns it is unprepared for what could be one of the worst flooding seasons in recent history, with international forecasts showing more than 825,000 people at risk. Despite the urgency, the agency has received no funding from the Finance Ministry, leaving officials scrambling to finalize an emergency response plan as flooding already affects tens of thousands. Executive Director Ansu Dulleh cautioned, “The worst is yet to come. Homes will flood. Families will have to move. And the government alone cannot handle what’s coming.”
