FLOOD EMERGENCIES IN MADAGASCAR, ZIMBABWE, BOTSWANA, SWAZILAND &
MOZAMBIQUE, which destroyed homes & livelihood, now require chlorine,
water-storage bladders, assistance rehabilitating boreholes, pumping &
drainage systems, electricity generators, road repair, household goods
(kitchen utensils) & resettlement materials (construction, seeds). The
Govt. of Madagascar claims 600,000 have been displaced from coastal
cities & villages in flooding from the recent heavy rains. Zimbabwe ap-
peals for emergency aid for 25,000 homeless in Manicland, Masvingo,
Midlands & Matabeleland provinces. In Mozambique, flood relief coordi-
nation centers in Maputo & Beira observe that Save, Umbeluzi, Incomati
& Buzi water levels have fallen, while the Limpopo River remains high.
The South African Defense Force tallies that search & rescue has saved
over 14,000 persons, including 1,100 by Malawi's 2 helicopters. Begin-
ning today, tropical storm Gloria will drop up to 2 more inches of rain
