About

Mozambique, a southern African nation, is currently grappling with a severe humanitarian crisis due to widespread flooding. These floods, described as the worst in a generation, have displaced hundreds of thousands of people, destroyed homes and infrastructure, and caused over 100 deaths. The floods are attributed to torrential rains and are impacting regions like Maputo and Gaza, leading to the establishment of displacement camps. Aid efforts are underway, with international assistance from Brazil, South Africa, and the UK. Simultaneously, TotalEnergies has restarted its $20 billion LNG project in Mozambique after a five-year freeze due to escalating violence in the region. This resumption is significant for Mozambique's economy, but the country's immediate focus remains on addressing the devastating impact of the floods and providing aid to affected populations, while also facing warnings about crocodiles and potential disease outbreaks.
