Mozambique Hard Hit by Floods and Debt

HeadlineMar 14, 2000

Despite fears of more flooding in Mozambique, restless flood victims are abandoning aid camps and heading back to their devastated villages. The government says it’s still unable to provide food and medicine to outlying villages hard hit by last month’s floods and warns that drinking the filthy flood water there could spark a cholera epidemic. Meanwhile, aid workers are paying more attention to Madagascar, an Indian Ocean island nation off the coast of Mozambique also hard hit by recent flooding. In Mozambique, one million people need aid, but the number is expected to decline. The UN World Food Program appealed for $27 million to feed an estimated 650,000 people over the next six months. Mozambique is not only hard hit by the floods, but by the debt that the United States and other countries says that it owes and will not forgive.
