The 2016–2017 Zimbabwe floods began in December 2016, following a severe drought. The flooding killed at least 250 people and injured another 128 over three months and left around 2,000 people homeless, according to Zimbabwean officials. At least seventy bridges on major highways were swept away, according to Transport Minister Joram Gumbo.[1]
