Submerged Homes

Devastating floods in Mozambique are forcing thousands of families to leave their homes to look for refuge in emergency camps.  75,000 people, around half of them children, have already been displaced. The current floods come on top of flooding early last year from which people have still not recovered.

Here, submerged homes are seen from the air on the flooded banks of the Zambezi River in central Mozambique . Hundreds of families have fled raging floodwaters which swamped scores of small towns and large areas of agricultural land in Mozambique's central Sofala province.
