Gurye County experienced record-breaking heavy rain in early August, resulting in flooding of 1,244 households and facilities, submersion of 421 hectares of crops, and damage to 3,651 livestock. In addition to private damages, public facilities such as roads and bridges were also severely damaged. The scale of the damage is expected to continue increasing.
