Ugandans cross a flooded bridge connecting Lira, Pader and Kitgum as their vehicles failed to cross either side of the river in the northern Uganda town of Lira September 16, 2007. Floods from torrential rains have caused the deaths of at least 80 more people, displaced thousands, and devastated crops and livestock across sub-Saharan Africa, officials said last Friday.

Students carry their belongings as they wade through flood waters in Lira, September 25, 2007. Fears mounted on Monday that downpours which have killed dozens in Africa, uprooted hundreds of thousands and devastated crops could continue past the end of the rainy season and hit areas that have so far escaped floods.
