The inundation of 11,933 hectares of agricultural land has raised concerns over potential crop losses, threatening the livelihoods of farmers in the region. The rapid rise in water levels has left many communities unprepared, increasing the risk of further casualties and property damage. The situation remains critical as rivers continue to flow above danger levels.
