More dead and homeless in Mozambique landslide

The Mozambican authorities say the number of people known to have died in a landslide in the central province of Zambezia earlier this week has now risen to sixty-three.

Mozambique radio says seventy-eight people are still missing.

The radio said nearly eight-thousand people were left homeless by the disaster, which was caused by a violent storm in the Milange district, near the border with Malawi.
