Weeks of intense and unrelenting rainfall have triggered catastrophic flooding across parts of southern Africa, including Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The floods have claimed the lives of hundreds and forced hundreds of thousands of people into temporary shelters.
Some areas received an entire year’s worth of rain in just 10 days, an alarming amount that overwhelmed communities accustomed to less severe seasonal flooding. Vast areas of farmland have been destroyed, along with roads, bridges, water sources, and critical infrastructure, placing affected regions at heightened risk of hunger and disease outbreaks.
The damage is extensive and ongoing. In Mozambique, entire neighborhoods were submerged, and dozens of hospitals and clinics were destroyed. In South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, as well as parts of Zimbabwe, floodwaters swept away key transportation routes, cutting off access to health care and aid. Humanitarian agencies warn of an escalating crisis as displaced families face limited food supplies, rising illness, and the loss of essential services.
The Church of the Nazarene-Africa Region calls for prayer for all impacted:
“As the Church, we stand together in compassion and faith. We call on our family across the region and beyond to lift ... all affected nations in prayer for comfort, provision, protection, and restoration.”
