Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

One Million Displaced in Mozambique Floods

HeadlineMar 01, 2000

With an estimated one million people displaced by Mozambique’s worst floods on record, helicopters and boats tried to save those still trapped today by high waters, while international donors delivered large amounts of emergency supplies. The latest official estimate is that 200 people have died in the floods that have devastated this impoverished southeast African country of Mozambique of 19 million people since the beginning of February. But aid agencies expect the death toll to run into the thousands. Bodies are believed to be trapped inside huts or under water. President Joaquim Chissano today urged the international community to provide more help.
