Sometimes nature can be notorious: UN warns on West Africa floods Heavy flooding has now affected some 350,000 people across West Africa, killing at least 30 in Ghana and Burkina Faso, UN officials say. More than 100,000 people in Burkina Faso have fled their homes, mainly in the capital Ougadougou. A UN spokeswoman said the amount of rain that fell in Ougadougou on one day this week was equal to a quarter of the whole country's annual rainfall. Neighbouring countries affected include Benin, Guinea, Niger and Senegal. Earlier in the week, Burkina Faso's main hospital was badly flooded and had to evacuate patients, some with infectious diseases. At least seven people are known to have died from the floods in the country and President Blaise Compaore has appealed to the international community for help. Picha kwa hisani ya BBC
