Bodies wash from graves in Mozambique amid floods
The impacted cemetery dates back more than three decades and contains a large number of unmarked graves.
Floodwaters have swept corpses from a cemetery on the banks of the Umbeluze river close to Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, into neighboring homes and onto farms.
The effects of the raging waters that inundated many neighborhoods in the Boane district, about 25 km south-west of the capital, and elsewhere were depicted in televised pictures.
According to reports, the corpses' dispersion threatens public health.
The bodies were collected over the course of the weekend by local residents.
The impacted cemetery dates back more than three decades and contains a large number of unmarked graves.
