At least 36 dead in Mozambique floods
Posted Sat Jan 26, 2013 7:16am AEDT
A fresh storm surge is feared after flooding in Mozambique killed at least 36 people and affected nearly 85,000, according to the United Nations.
The UN said the number of displaced people stands at 67,995 and $15 million is needed to help the impoverished south-east African country face the emergency.
Severe flooding continues to spread across the south of the country, with the Mozambique government and international agencies rushing to ease the humanitarian disaster.
The floods are a result of week-long torrential rains in South Africa and Zimbabwe that swelled the Limpopo river.
