| Earth Matters: Full effect of Mozambique floods slowly emerges
(CNN) -- Weeks after the dramatic helicopter rescues and the flight to refugee camps, the long-term effects of the devastating floods in Mozambique are being tallied.

CNN Reporter Craig Duff has the full story on efforts to cope in the wake of the worst flooding in Mozambique's history.
