Good evening, everyone! I am George Smith. Here is the international news. Heavy rains began falling in early December, leading to flooding in southern Africa.
About 100,000 people in Mozambique, the worst-hit country, have been moved to higher ground and are living under difficult circumstances. And the disaster is not over. Mozambique is now being threatened by a hurricane, Cyclone Ivan. Cyclone Ivan hit the northeastern coast of Madagascar on Sunday with winds of 200 kilometers per hour. Early reports show that about 500 people have been affected, with homes lost and roads cut off. The number of victims is likely to rise. Red Cross volunteers in Madagascar are helping the victims. A spokesman for the International Federation of the Red Cross says that Cyclone Ivan is strengthening and may be headed toward Mozambique. He notes that Mozambique's government has given a warning and that it will keep a close eye on the situation over the next 24 hours. And he also says that the Red Cross will bring in a lot of supplies, such as tents, mosquito nets, and water to prepare for another emergency caused by Cyclone Ivan.
