00:00Mozambique is grappling with its worst flooding in decades, just months after recovering from
00:06a devastating drought. Nearly 700,000 people have been affected, with over 100,000 forced
00:13into temporary shelters as homes, farmland and roads are submerged. The United Nations
00:20warns a severe overcrowding is creating dangerous conditions, particularly for women, girls,
00:26the elderly and those with disabilities. The World Food Programme says it's scaling up to
00:31reach 450,000 people with life-saving food, but urgently needs $32 million to do so.
00:39UN agencies stress the risks are far from over. With continued rainfall forecast,
00:45more displacement is expected and urgent international support is critical.
00:51The World Food Programme's emergency response chief says funding is down 40%
00:55from last year, straining efforts to respond. The UN is also seeking $38.2 million for 2026
01:03to provide protection and support services in overcrowded shelters,
01:08where the most vulnerable face heightened risks of violence.
