Flooding in Mozambique has cut off the only land connection to the rest of the province, cutting off the town of Mabote in the southern province of Inhambane.
Dady Mendes, a provincial roads official, explained that heavy rains that fell on the province following the landfall of tropical cyclone Freddy made it difficult for vehicles and people to move around.
According to him, the rains destroyed nearly 700 kilometers (435 miles) of roads across the province, causing traffic disruptions.
Meanwhile, in the central Sofala province of Beira, the number of families looking for shelter continues to rise due to flooding in their homes.
On Tuesday, approximately 200 people sought shelter at a local primary school in Matadauro, with a district administrator stating that some families would be relocated to avoid overcrowding.
More rain is forecast for the next few days.
