Mozambique Crisis Largely Overlooked

(11 Mar 08 - RV) The worst flooding in nearly a decade has caused massive displacements of people as well as outbreaks of cholera and other diseases in Mozambique.
Government sources estimate that the roughly 258,000 people who have been affected require urgent food aid, water and sanitation assistance.
Michael Hydén, the Africa Program Officer for Action by Churches Together, says despite the urgency the current humanitarian situation has not yet received the international attention it deserves.
