South Africa’s flood-ravaged east hit by more heavy rain

Emergency services on high alert in KwaZulu-Natal as search for victims continues, with almost 400 dead

South Africa's flood-ravaged east has been hit by another downpour of rain, after the catastrophic storm killed nearly 400 people and left tens of thousands homeless.

Flood waters from the deadliest storm to hit the country in living memory engulfed parts of the coastal city of Durban earlier this week - tearing apart roads, sweeping away homes and those trapped inside them, and sinking heavy cargo containers.
