The death toll from floods in three of Mozambique’s southern provinces has risen to 69 as the country forecasts it will need more than triple the amount budgeted to help feed and relocate those affected.
About 112,000 people have been displaced, with 107,000 being in the districts of Guija and Chokwe in Gaza province, Rita Almeida, the National Disaster Management Institute’s spokeswoman, told reporters today in the capital, Maputo. Thirty-nine people died in floods in the province, she said. Other provinces hit by the deluge are Inhambane and Maputo.
