Floods threaten thousands
MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP)
— Helicopters raced for a second
day today to rescue thousands of
people stranded by flood waters in
trees and on rooftops in southern and
central Mozambique.
Officials did not know how
many people had drowned, but said
the toll would be high because many
Mozambicans could not swim. The
anny was scheduled to begin recov
ering bodies today.
On Sunday, a two-yard-high wall
of water struck Chokwe, a town of
about 40,000 people some 125 miles
north of the capital, Maputo.
Paul Tyndale-Biscoe, a water en
gineer who was in Chokwe when the
ftoodwater hit Sunday, said he saw hu
man bodies and cattle carcasses being
swept along the raging lloodwaters.
A helicopter crew member said a
woman threw her baby at an already
loaded helicopter as it lifted off. The
crew member caught the child by its
arm, saving it from certain death, but
it was unclear whether its mother
had survived.
Other crews reported seeing
buildings collapse under the weight
of people minutes before they were
about to be rescued.
Today, villages 25 miles down
stream from Chokwe were Hooded,
said Michele Quintaglie, spokes
woman for the U.N. World Food
Program. The live available rescue
helicopters were not enough to save
people in both areas.
“There will be thousands of
people left behind tonight. These
people will be on their own to get
through the night,” she said, adding
it appeared many of the thousands
left in the Chokwe area overnight
had surv ived.
The flooded Limpopo River
will continue to rise in the next
few days, the Mozambique Water
Department said. The Save River,
600 miles north of the capital of
Maputo, was also expected to con
tinue rising.
Among those saved today were
four children, aged 4 to 6, who were
sitting on a completely submerged
ear with no adults nearby and the
streaming water rising.

The International Red Cross appealed for more money to pay for rescue
efforts in saving thousands of victims of the floods in Mozambique. Swollen
rivers have swept away almost everything in their path, homes and entire
villages, leaving people stranded in cars, on rooftops and in trees
