Water levels in the Pungue, Save and Buzi rivers were rising at alarming levels after intensive rain hit Mozambique’s central provinces and neighbouring Zimbabwe, state media reported on Friday. Extensive portions of soil from fields had been washed away and most parts were flooded.
More than 85 000 people in the central Mozambican province of Sofala are facing food shortages because of floods and drought that hit that part of the country earlier this year. The national secretariat on food security and nutrition said the number could increase to more than 100 000 by the end of October.
