The state minister for disaster preparedness, Musa Ecweru has warned that eastern region is set to face a severe food shortage after the floods.

This follows floods seriously hitting the eastern districts of the country sweeping away all the gardens and at the same time making the crops that are in the gardens rot.

Speaking in the workshop geared at finding mitigation to the endless disasters that are befalling the country, Ecweru stresses that all this can be managed in case the country had a well built national emergency center to handle all these problems.

He further reveals that extending relief services to the affected people in the region are not as helpful due to blocked roads making it difficult for trucks to move to those affected areas.
