A rudimentary shelter of plastic sheeting and straw stands in the Baue resettlement camp, in Mozambique's Tete region on January 16, 2008.

UNICEF's Thierry Delvigne-Jean, who took the photograph, says that at least 3,500 people have fled to Baue, which was set up in 2007. The government is trying to persuade them to remain there permanently.

Aid groups have built water and sanitation facilities at Baue, but many people there are determined to return home despite the potential for new flooding. "They want to get back to their land along the river, where they have traditionally lived," Delvigne-Jean said.
