Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana – Long-term rainfall has caused rivers to rise in northeastern South America, with flooding affecting communities in Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Civil Defence Commission (CDC) in Guyana reported flooding in late May 2022 affected Region 5 (Mahaica-Berbice), Region 9 (Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo) and Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice). Red Cross confirmed that 100 people were evacuated from areas near Lethem in Region 9, with a total of around 500 people affected. Flooding has affected parts of Suriname since March this year when the Tapanahoni, Lawa and Marowijne rivers began to overflow. Red Cross reported on 15 March 2022 that flooding had affected 7,500 people, mostly in communities along rivers in the districts of Sipaliwini and Marowijne. By late April this figure had increased to 15,000 and included areas of Brokopondo district where the situation was aggravated necessary water releases at the Afobakast dam whihc increased levels of the Suriname River downstream. The overflowing Maroni (Lawa) River along the border with Suriname caused flooding in parts of Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni arrondissement, French Guiana, from mid-May 2022.
