Situation Report

It is the rainy season in Mozambique and the Zambezi river is flooding here is the latest report on how it is affecting the area:

As of 13 February, the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC) estimates that approximately 74,000 people have been displaced due to the floods. An estimated 29,000 people are currently in accommodation centres and an undetermined number in resettlement centres that were established after the 2001 floods. INGC estimates that 285,000 people may possibly be affected by the current emergency in the worst-case scenario.

Below are some pictures of the flooding and a link to a map of Mozambique and the specific area the floods are affecting. I am concerned about the villages surrounding Marromeu as these are where the Child Development program have been specifically working.
