Severe Flooding in Mozambique Displaces Thousands and Prompts Emergency Response

Severe flooding in Mozambique's southern province of Gaza has displaced over 300,000 people, with more than 29,600 homes damaged across five provinces. President Daniel Chapo canceled his Davos trip to focus on rescue efforts as rising waters continue to threaten communities, including the provincial capital Xai-Xai. Neighboring South Africa has deployed air force helicopters to assist. The floods, worsened by heavy rains and climate change, have caused over 100 deaths since October, with humanitarian agencies warning the situation may deteriorate further.
