Severe flooding has devastated southern Mozambique, submerging farmland and paralyzing the capital, Maputo. Major roads are underwater, leaving drivers stranded for kilometers and cutting off food supplies and aid. Thousands of kilometers of transport routes are impassable, isolating communities. Families are being evacuated by air, while small businesses and livelihoods are destroyed. Flooding is a recurring threat in Mozambique, but repeated heavy rains are making recovery increasingly difficult.
