posted (August 17, 2012)
Last night, 7News showed you the widespread flooding in the low lying areas of the Corozal District. Well, the news tonight is that although much of the waters are receding, some areas are still under water.

Mayor of Corozal, Hilberto Campos told 7News that the water has gone down in majority of the town. But, some areas are still under water.

7News also called Willard Levy, the District Organizer for NEMO Corozal who told us that the villages of XAIBE (SHY-BEH) and Caledonia are still largely under water.

He added that there may be more villages which are still flooded, but their survey is incomplete. Levy added only the Guadeloupe RC shelter, which currently has 7 shelterees, remains open.

A survey is being done to see how much devastation has been done to the agricultural sector in the district.
