Mozambique’s relief agency, the National Institute for Disaster Risk Management and Reduction (INGRD), has warned that more than 30,000 people may be affected by flooding in the next two days in the southern Gaza province.
The relief agency has attributed the flooding to the overflow of the Limpopo and Shingwedzi rivers due to heavy rains caused by Cylone Eloise.
INGRD warned those living in the districts of Xai-Xai and Limpopo districts to leave the area for their own safety due to the expected floodings.
A tropical cyclone that hit central Mozambique on the weekend has displaced thousands of people and caused severe flooding in an area battered by two deadly cyclones in 2019, response teams and aid agencies said.
