A semana em que a população de Moçambique enfrentou intempéries e cheias
Abrimos o recapitulativo desta semana em África com Moçambique com as intempéries que provocaram mortíferas cheias essencialmente no sul do país. De acordo com o Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres, para além de mais de uma dezena de mortos só nestes últimos dias e mais de 700 mil pessoas afectadas, o balanço muito provisório da época chuvosa é de pelo menos 123 mortos desde Outubro.
