Timor-Leste

30 April 2021
A month after being hit with devastating floods, Timor-Leste struggles to cope amid a Covid-19 outbreak. Last month's floods left more than 45 people dead including a dozen children and tens of thousands homeless. The floods were brought on by a cyclone in Indonesia. In its latest update issued on 21 April, the government said 28,734 households were affected by the floods, with 90 percent of the homes in the capital Dili.
