Ouagadougou, 06 Sept-(ANA)-Heavy flooding has now affected some 350,000 people across West Africa, killing at least 32 in Ghana and Burkina Faso, UN officials say.
More than 150,000 people in Burkina Faso have fled their homes, mainly in the capital Ouagadougou.
A UN spokeswoman said the amount of rain that fell in Ouagadougou 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.
The United Nations is warning that numbers killed are likely to rise and has sent an assessment team to Burkina Faso.
At least seven people are known to have died in Burkina Faso, where the capital has seen the heaviest rains in 90 years. (ANA)
