Summary: Strong rain sent the Mozambique rivers into the town destroying homes and killing 36 or more people. Tens of thousands had to flee from the town's flooded areas without food or water as fears of a humanitarian crisis grow. From all the destruction they believe they will need 15 million for the relief operation. The UN believe that the number will go up after the assessment team make their inspections. That is not the only worry for Africa, they believe that land mines left from the civil war have been shifted.

Analysis : This was written to inform you on things that happened outside of America. We find out about tragedies that happen in America, but usually forget about it happening in other countries. They wrote this just to appeal to your emotional side to make you feel sympathy for those people. Also to show you that were not the only ones going through some money problems. Honestly I feel bad for those people who have lost a family member so my heart goes out to them.
For most of the people life was hard enough already. And now this.
