Here are two aerial pictures from one thousand feet up that show the Zambezi River overflowing onto huge areas of land that are normally farms and villages.
Rain comes and goes daily, and the river is still rising.
About 400,000 people are displaced or cut off from food and necessary supplies. On the upper right is a boy I photographed at the Chupanga camp right at the edge of the flood. One lady and her baby were eaten by a crocodile in her hut along the river near Marromeu while we were there. On the lower left is a typical camp scene at Chupanga. Clean water is scarce, and the river water is undrinkable.
