CHOPPERS FLY AID TO MOZ

THE South African relief mission to flooded areas of Mozambique is proceeding, with two Oryx helicopters flying emergency supplies to Maimelane and Inhassorro. Assistance from a Japanese aid organisation was anticipated from Thursday night while the Red Cross and other organisations are already on the scene. They are working to pre-empt famine after the destruction of crops. The death tolls is uncertain but estimates are less than 15.
