Mozambique will need emergency supplies to avoid famine after rice production in the Chkw area was decimated by a flooding Limpopo River, inundating 88 of the countrys southern arable land in just a few days.
Chkw administrator Narciso Nhamuco told Lusa news agency that the recent flooding had reached levels previously not seen, affecting high-level areas once thought safe from flooding.
Where there were safe places or safe spots in the floods of 2000 and 2013, in 2026 the waters reached them.
