Water levels could rise significantly over the next 24 hours, affecting the lower Zambezi region in the districts of Mutarara in Tete province, Morrumbala, Mopeia and Luabo in Zambezia province, Caia and Marromeu in Sofala province, causing flooding in low-lying areas. 

A statement from the Zambezi Basin Management Division (DGBZ), to which MZNews has had access, indicates that the scenario is due to rainfall characterized by moderate and locally heavy rains, which have been recorded in the national territory and in neighbouring countries.

In this regard, the DGBZ is calling on all public and private entities, local authorities, economic agents and the general public to take precautionary measures and to withdraw immediately from areas at risk of flooding and not to cross riverbeds.
