Mozambique Floods Kill 13, Toll Expected to Rise

Mozambique Floods Kill 13, Toll Expected to Rise

Mozambique has been hit by very bad floods.

So far, 13 people have died, but more deaths are expected as the water goes down.

The floods have affected more than half a million people and have caused a lot of damage.

The capital city, Maputo, is cut off from the rest of the country because a big road is flooded.

Many people had to leave their homes to stay safe.

Workers from the United Nations say many of those who died might be children.

The floods are the worst since 2000, but fewer people might have died this time because of early warnings and evacuations.
