Following BRC's urgent Africa Flood appeal, launched on the 20th September (press release and main donation page available on BRC website), Matthias Schmale gave interviews on the 21st September to Channel 4 news and BBC News 24. Moira Reddick gave a further interview later in the day to the BBC.
Channel 4 news have very kindly posted a video of their report on their website - follow the link and click on the 'watch the report' link.
Sadly the BBC have not posted video of either interview, but they are reporting in some detail on the Red Cross response to the floods, including mention of the BRC appeal and an interview with Benonita Bismarck of the Ghana Red Cross.
On Friday 21st September, Humanitarian Coordinator for Uganda Theophane Nikyema announced a Flash Appeal for around $41m to 'address urgent humanitarian and some limited early recovery needs for 300,000 people affected by the flooding over the coming six months'.
