Southern Africa Flooding

Floods in Mozambique have led to a new threat. Crocodiles are appearing in submerged towns and have killed at least three people. Torrential rains and severe flooding over the past month have killed more than 100 people in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Thousands of homes have been destroyed. And infrastructure like roads and health facilities has been damaged. Authorities in the Mozambican town of Xai-Xai are warning of crocodile risks as floodwaters spread. The Limpopo River flows through Mozambique and is bringing crocodiles into populated areas. The floods also have created a humanitarian crisis. More than 700,000 people are affected with rising hunger and disease risks.
