The Surinamese Television Foundation (STVS) and ABC Radio & TV are off the air due to the abundant rainfall that has been plaguing Suriname for months. That reports Suriname Herald Wednesday. The STVS website is also inaccessible.
It is unknown when the Surinamese media will be back on the air. It was too unsafe for the staff of the stations on Wednesday to continue doing their work.
The buildings in which STVS and ABC Radio and Television are located have been flooded. In some cases, the water enters the building through the floors.
Suriname has been suffering for months from abundant rainfall and the lack of the dry season. This leads to flooding and flooding.
Thousands of homes in the country have been under water for months. Some schools have been closed for three months. The reopening of schools in the interior is slowly getting started. The Surinamese government has asked the Netherlands for help in combating the flooding.
