Flooding in Mozambique has forced crocodiles into submerged towns, resulting in at least three deaths and prompting urgent warnings from local authorities. The town of Xai-Xai and other areas in southern Mozambique have seen rising river levels, which have allowed crocodiles from the Limpopo river to enter populated regions now underwater. Beyond the immediate threat from wildlife, the floods have devastated infrastructure, destroyed thousands of homes, and disrupted health services for tens of thousands of people. Humanitarian agencies report that over 700,000 people have been affected, with many facing hunger, disease risks, and interruptions to essential medical care. The situation remains critical as authorities and aid organizations work to restore services and protect vulnerable communities.
