Losses of $20 billion.. Who will pay the biggest price for the 'super El Niño' in Africa?

The African Development Bank warned that the anticipated 'super' El Niño phenomenon could cause economic losses ranging from $10 billion to $20 billion for the most affected African countries, with a potential decline in GDP for these countries by an average of 1% to 2%, alongside increasing risks of mass migration and worsening humanitarian crises. Anthony Nyong, Director of Climate Change and Green Growth at the African Development Bank, stated in remarks to Reuters that the phenomenon could turn into one of the strongest recorded El Niño waves if the Pacific Ocean temperatures continue to rise, warning of severe droughts, floods, and violent storms in several African countries.
