Reuters —At least 94 people died, including children, and 26 are missing after a ferry boat capsized off the northern coast of Mozambique, an official from the country’s Maritime Transport Institute (INTRASMAR) said. “On Sunday we registered a maritime incident where at least 94 people died when a barge carrying 130 people capsized. We have recovered 94 bodies and 26 are missing,” he said. Jaime Neto, secretary of state for Nampula province, also said that the passengers were fleeing cholera, according to the BBC. Videos posted on social media X showed many bodies lying on a beach and some people carrying the bodies of children.

UNICEF Mozambique/2023/Alfredo Zuniga/Handout via REUTERSBLANTYRE, Malawi, March 13 (Reuters) - At least 11 people have died and 16 are missing around Malawi's second-largest city Blantyre after tropical storm Freddy brought torrential rains that triggered floods and landslides, police said on Monday. It pummelled Mozambique for the second time in a month as a cyclone over the weekend before weakening as it moved inland towards Malawi. "Some missing people are feared buried in rubble and our team is working with other cooperating national agencies," Kalaya said. Scientists say climate change is making tropical storms stronger, as oceans absorb much of the heat from greenhouse gas emissions and when warm seawater evaporates heat energy is transferred to the atmosphere.

MAPUTO, March 11 (Reuters) - Cyclone Freddy was settling off the coast of Mozambique on Saturday, bringing flooding and high winds to Quelimane two weeks after killing at least 27 people in southern Africa when it first made landfall last month. After swirling for 34 days straight, the weather system is likely to have broken the record for the longest-lasting tropical cyclone. The cyclone is slow-moving, which meteorological experts say means it will pick up more moisture off the sea, bringing heavy rainfall. More than 171,000 people were affected after the cyclone swept through southern Mozambique last month, bringing heavy rains and floods that damaged crops and destroyed houses, with OCHA putting its death toll at 27 so far -- 10 in Mozambique and 17 in Madagascar. More than half a million people are at risk in Mozambique this time, especially around in Zambezia, Tete, Sofala and Nampula and Zambezia provinces.

Atunci, cu ani în urmă, chiar îmi notasem denumirile televiziunilor, anul, data, ora, titlurile emisiunilor, filmelor, numele traducătorilor. Acum nu voi mai face aceste precizări: sunt prea multe de înșirat, de enumerat și nu ne va mai ajunge spațiu niciodată. Voi menționa doar că e vorba de o perioadă de vreo 7-8 ani de observări. S-a ajuns până a denumi „аттестаты зрелости” ca atestate mature, iar „безответная любовь” – dragoste iresponsabilă, în loc de dragoste neîmpărtășită. Dacă aşa stau lucrurile, de ce „Медный всадник” să nu se traducă „Călărețul fără cap”, cum a și fost tradus?
