Aid agencies said they were still struggling to reach victims and work out the extent of the devastation in the northern province of Cabo Delgado.
“Worryingly, it is still raining heavily,” said Daw Mohammed, Care’s director of humanitarian operations, who is in Pemba. Downpours were particularly serious in areas north of the city, said Saviano Abreu, spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in eastern and southern Africa.
Kenneth is forecast to bring twice as much rain in Mozambique’s north, prone to flooding and landslides, over the coming days, the UN World Food Programme has warned. Care said the government had set up 20 evacuation centres in Pemba, but planes were needed as many of the affected areas were not accessible by road.
