Recent flooding in Mozambique has caused severe damage to the population. So far, at least 36 people have been reported dead and over 70,000 people have been displaced and their homes have been destroyed. The UN says that the flood waters are continuing to rise in Xai-Xai. Sea levels have been dangerously rising due to the multiple days of torrential rains across South-east Africa. It has been reported that Zimbabwe and Botswana have also been experiencing severe flooding. One of the province's that got hit the hardest by the flooding was Gaza. The government is sending in clean water, food, shelter, and other helpful aid to Gaza. Officials say that more flooding is still to come.
It makes me very sad that so many people are being affected by the flooding. The control of what is going on is out of their hands. I hope the citizens stay safe in their shelters and that the worst of the flooding is already over.

This is so sad. I hope that they will be able to control flooding better in the future
