Namibia - Hailstorm Wipes Out Crops

A hailstorm destroyed crops and killed livestock in the Outapi, Onesi and Ruacana constituencies of the Omiusati Region last Monday, leaving people worried about their food supplies.  The storm destroyed mahangu, mealies, beans and vegetable crops and even a number of goats and sheep.  Bigger animals such as cattle and donkey were left with wounded eyes, noses and ears.
