LILONGWE, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Flash floods in southern Malawi killed four people and the government urged people living in flood-prone areas to move to higher ground. "Three women and one child have died and we now fear that more may die if they don't move now because more heavy rains are expected," Richard Msowoya, the cabinet official in charge of disaster preparedness, told Reuters on Wednesday. Msowoya said floods destroyed over 915 hectares of crop and 32 houses when the banks of the Mwanza river which flows into the Shire river, the country's biggest, burst following heavy rains in the past several days. Last year, floods in the southern African country affected 15 out of Malawi's 27 districts and killed 15 people.
