[00:23.54]Crops have been destroyed, and thousands of cattle have been lost. [00:30.07]It is saidto be the worst flooding in the area in fifty years. [00:36.34]The flooding is worst in Mozambique. [00:40.83]Hundreds of people have died in the floodingin the central and southern parts of the country. [00:49.11]As many as 1,000,000 people have lost their homes. [00:53.32]A huge flood wave moved down the country's northern Limpopo River on Sunday. [01:00.94]The waters flooded the small town of Chokwe. [01:05.31]Many people trapped by the rising floodwater climbed to the tops of trees or houses in hopes of being rescued. [01:14.58]South African military helicopters have rescued about 8,000 people in the area. [01:21.87]But South African officials say thousands of people could not be rescued because of a lack of helicopters. [01:30.85]The number of dead is said to be increasing in Mozambique.
