\u201cWe saw people besieged and asking for help... on top of their roofs made up of zinc sheets. Others under floodwaters. We can only imagine that they had been there for more than two or three days, without food and without clean drinking water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several aid agencies in Mozambique are complementing government efforts in the distribution of food. Over 3,800 families are taking refuge in Mozambique\u2019s National Institute for Disaster Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
