'Mozambique Flooding\r'
'Mozambiqueââ¬â¢s worst flooding in 50 long time led to impacts and personal effects that devastated the sylvan and the passel not only socially but also physically and economically too. In the t able below I have separated the floodsââ¬â¢ effects into neat term and long term effects: Short term effectsLong term effects Electricity Cut- kill- Electricity was cut off due to the torrential waterââ¬â¢s force that swept away the electrical energy transmission towers. Death and severe injuries- 100s died as a result of the floods, thousands suffered from water-borne diseases and dysentery.Transport â⬠Transport is a major struggle in LEDCs the like Mozambique and the floods do that worse by wrecking 620 miles of roads and railways and also damaging vehicles, besides this made rescuing, distributing intellectual nourishment, drinks and aid even harder. modify up the mess- All the debris and junk left by the floodwaters which it gained through hydraulic action and the n traction or were ramshackle parts from buildings, took a gang of effort to manage and clear up, especially for Mozambique, being a LEDC sphere.Communication links broken- The conversation links werenââ¬â¢t available everywhere in Mozambique in the first attitude so the residents didnââ¬â¢t get a warning. And by not being able to warn the people, more damages were made certain. Agriculture disrupted- Much of the land in Mozambique is dedicated to agriculture (62%) as it is a common job for Mozambicans. However, most of the crops were unmake by the floodwaters, devastating the land owners and the countryââ¬â¢s economic status further.Shortage of food and water- Lack of food and water was a temporary problem. The water most people drank was contaminated, thus people became ill by diseases such as; Dysentery, Typhoid, Cholera, etc. Homes and Buildings destroyed- Buildings in urban areas (Maputo, Beira) were entirely destroyed by the flood and the cyclone. Rebuilding the m could take years and a lot of money.\r\n'
