2020 Sancatha Flood

The Sancatha flood (alla Vulgari: U Inudazioni in Sancatha) occurred on 11 April 2020, in the city of Sancatha when 512 millimeters (20.2 in) of rain fell in a span of 24 hours. Seven people were killed, forty-three were injured and more than a thousand residents were evacuated from their homes by the army and the police boats from five affected areas. Total damage was estimated at over 10 million EAS ($7.034 million) according to the Central Bureau of Statistics.

The Patriotic Drowned Schoolgirl
The Sancatha flood was popularized abroad after coverage from the national television revealed a 14-year-old schoolgirl among the casualties of the flood. Allegedly the girl drowned while trying to retrieve a portrait of Dictatrice Lasa Cinggingya from the flood. On 13 April 2020, Lasa Cinggingya ordered "the next day exempt from work" in silence and respect to the victims of the flood, and praised the patriotic deed of the girl. These news stired a public outcry from international organizations and most notably from Yongdo, the seat of the Congress of Nations, that once again condemned the Fascist Government of the Rashnna for its negligence and deplorable human rights. Outside observers also blamed the cult of personality around the Dictatrice, viewing the girl's death as a "direct consequence of indoctrination".

Northern Sancatha
The northern part of the municipality of Sancatha was dilapidated after the flood. The Limentra River overflowed for the first time in eleven years and created that were destructive for the infrastructure. Three highway bridges suffered from these landslides, with construction parts from the bridge cascading and being carried away with the slide. Residential areas were also affected and a total of seven buildings collapsed.
