 Intense and heavy rainfall in the Liberian capital Monrovia on 20 July caused the worst floods on record in Monrovia and forced nearly 1,000 people out of their houses, Liberian authorities told IRIN.
All day Sunday, residents in eastern areas of the city including in Paynesville, Townhalk, King Gray, Fish Market and other communities were seen removing personal belongings like mattresses, clothes and pots from their homes. By the end of the day, flood water had blocked roads to the area, and government rescue workers were using canoes to evacuate the remaining people from the flood areas. |

“In gratitude for the great love shown by Jesus Christ…,” the young men began the formula after Fr. Cellana’s sermon, “… and may I, by God’s grace and the loving intercession of Our Lady of Consolation…” they went on to the end. The assembly was so quiet that you could almost hear people breathing.
