Rain or Shine...

FLOODS IN central Mozambique have killed 23 people and left more than 6,000 people homeless, the United Nations said yesterday.

The UN report estimates more than 70,000 people have been affected by the flooding, brought on by three months of rain. The worst-hit district is the coastal area around Vilankulo and flooding has also blocked Mozambique's main north-south highway, isolating the coastal town of Inhassoro.
