MOZAMBIQUE has appealed for $2.7-million to help victims of flooding from torrential rains that have swamped parts of southern Africa, the United Nations said on Friday. Donations will be used to purchase emergency supplies including inflatable boats, life jackets, life buoys, tents, as well as ropes, torches and pumps, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a statement. UN agencies have mobilised to help Mozambique, where floods have isolated cities and left more than 100000 in need of aid. Major road links have been cut in the region.
