Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Several families in the district of Boane, 30 kilometres south of the Mozambican capital Maputo, are waiting for help on top of their houses surrounded by floods, Boane mayor, Jacinto Loureiro, said on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have pregnant women and children on top of houses. It is total despair,\u201d said the mayor, without specifying the number ofstranded people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is dramatic. We have three submerged neighbourhoods\u201d, he told journalists, standing on the edge of the 10 kilometre pouring sheet of water, with a strong current, which covers the road and all the land around it, making it impossible to travel to Boane.<\/p>\n

The rivers overflowed with the rain of the last few days and the opening of dams.<\/p>\n

A motor boat sails through the area and has already rescued some people caught off-guard by the waters and who had found refuge at the top of trees.<\/p>\n

However, this vessel does not have the strength to reach the neighbourhoods\u2019 from which families have launched calls for help in videos shared on social networks, filmed from above houses and with water everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for help from other vessels\u201d or even \u201cfrom helicopters\u201d, added the mayor.<\/p>\n

Jacinto Loureiro confessed to feeling \u201cpowerless\u201d, like the other local authorities, launching an appeal for the intervention of the central power.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the urban area of Boane \u201cis an island\u201d, a town currently hosting around 4,000 people who have left flooded areas, he added.<\/p>\n

Sima\u0303o Ezequiel, a resident of Boane, is one of the dozens of people who gather at the place where the water swallows the road: he wanted to enjoy the day off at home, but he has no way of getting there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how my family is doing. I\u2019m calling, but the phone doesn\u2019t answer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In its most recent assessment, the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) has said that there were 15 people besieged by floods in Maputo province, among the approximately 14,000 affected by the heavy rains that have been falling since Wednesday.<\/p>\n
