Tropical Cyclone Jude also left a trail of destruction and injuries ranging from serious to minor in Zambezia province, after the same happened in Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces.

According to figures provided by the authorities, at least nine people suffered serious or minor injuries and more than 600 houses were destroyed as a result of the passage of tropical cyclone "Jude" through Zambezia province.

The data was shared this Wednesday by the provincial delegate of the National Institute for Natural Disaster Management in Zambézia, Helder da Costa.

The provincial delegate of the National Institute for Natural Disaster Management in Zambézia, Helder da Costa, said on Wednesday, quoted in a "Noticias" publication, that nearly 600 families, equivalent to 3,000 people, were affected by the tropical storm.

According to the same source, 17 classrooms and four houses of worship were destroyed and two power poles fell.

Meanwhile, according to Costa, INGD teams are still on the ground trying to find out more information.

However, the director of the Licungo Basin and Coastal Basins division, António Cipriano, warns of the possibility of flooding in the regions of Nante and Motinho, in the district of Maganja da Costa, Furquia in Namacurra and Messalo in Mocuba along the Licungo and Raraja basins, if it continues to rain in the coming hours.

The source says that the flow of the Licungo River is above the alert level at all its hydrometric stations and that it continues to receive a lot of water from the northern districts.

"In Gurué, at 5pm last Tuesday, the level was 4.4 and today we are at 4.88, which means that we are already above the alert level. Similarly, at the Mocuba station we are 55 centimeters above the alert level," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
