- The water level in the Zambezi river is expected to rise over the next days, while the Cahora Bassa dam (HCB) is still discharging at 6,600 cubic meters per second.
- In mid and lower Zambezi, the hydrometric levels are still rising due to the contributions from the main tributaries such as Chire, Luia and Luenha. While stable over the past days, the situation along the Búzi, Púngue, Save and Licungo basins, where the hydrometric levels are rising in the upper zone due to intense rains in the central region and in Zimbabwe, will also require close monitoring.

- The Logistics Cluster is convening regular meetings, and is presently preparing its component of the CERF proposal.
- Sectorial needs assessments (transport, storage and communications in Caia, Tete and Vilanculos) Logistics Cluster members have been requested to send their needs and requirements in order to develop the operational plan. Customs in Beira will be approached in order to get quick clearance of charters, NFI and others at Beira international airport.
