Flood in Mozambique

Torrential rains since mid-December have steadily swelled river levels in the centre and south of the country, while rains across the southern African region led to increased water discharges from dams in neighbouring countries. Authorities were concerned about high water levels in the Save, Zambeze, Pungue, Limpopo and Incomati river basins.
