Flooding in Mozambique

Heavy rainfall in the Maputo Province in Mozambique has caused extensive floods, particularly in the capital city of Maputo.

The National Institute for Management and Reduction of Disaster Risk (INGD) has reported 6 fatalities, 2 injured and a further 3 people missing. A total of 36,700 people have been affected by the flooding and around 7,300 homes, 15 schools and 15 health centres have been damaged.

The World Health Organisation recorded over 400 mm of rain in a 24 hour period at a weather station in Mavalane, Maputo. Consequently, substantial rainfall increased discharge in the river systems of Maputo, Incomati and Umbeluzi, as well as further river systems upstream, which elevated flooding in the region considerably.

10 emergency accommodation centres have been opened and INGD is providing assistance to victims by offering food, medical services and other essential aid.
