Mozambique’s top relief agency is appealing for aid after massive flooding that has displaced and cut off tens of thousands of people.
Paulo Zucula of Mozambique’s National Relief Agency: “Some food is available in the country. We still have to transport food from one place to another place. As we have seen it, in some places, we have to evaluate it. In some places it has to go by boat. In some places we have to take it by air. In some places we still can drive. But even though, the food we have is not enough for a month for the people you saw today. So we will need some help in terms of food.”
An estimated 50,000 people have been displaced. The crisis could get worse as rains intensify in the next few weeks.
