Torrential rains and severe flooding have impacted more than 700,000 people in West and Central Africa, just two months into the rainy season, a UN spokesman said on Tuesday. The early onset of the rainy season has led to widespread displacement and hardship for communities across the region. The UN is mobilizing resources to assist those affected and to mitigate the effects of the flooding.
