Continuous heavy rainfall has triggered widespread flooding across Mozambique, severely impacting the southern region and rendering key roads impassable, according to Transport and Logistics Minister Joo Matlombe.
The southern provinces are the hardest hit, with approximately 40 of Gaza province submerged and districts in Maputo province flooded, some isolated. Rainfall levels have exceeded normal averages, placing nearly all provinces on alert.
'There are critical areas, such as the provinces of Gaza, Maputo and also Sofala. We have roads that are almost impassable as a result of the emergency water levels,' Matlombe said during a monitoring visit to Sofala.
