Those taking part knows that time is of the essence as they struggle to help the hundreds of thousands of refugees. The flood survivors are hungry, thirsty and often sick.</s>MASAMBA, MALAWIAN ARMY: We rescued most of the people onto safe places. We are actually ferrying a lot of food supplies and medical supplies to the disaster area.</s>COMPTON: Officials are trying to verify a report of 20,000 more refugees discovered in western Mozambique. The report was attributed to the United States military. It is searching for additional survivors with a piece of high-tech equipment known as "keen sage (ph)."</s>DEAN CURRAN, U.S. AMB. TO MOZAMBIQUE: The government is very excited about the fact of keen sage can go up into the far reaches of the rivers and do assessments, where they're worried there may be isolated populations which have not yet been identified.</s>COMPTON: The weather has left many relief flights grounded, but some supplies - those most urgently needed - are still being delivered.</s>TIMOTHY REES, ROYAL AIR FORCE: Food supplies may not be able to be moved in the heavy rain. Because of the containers they're in, they'll become wet and damage the food. So what they may move today is medical supplies, pots and pans, that kind of thing that the water won't damage.</s>COMPTON: Forecasters say the latest rains are not as bad as those that caused the floods. But the ground is so saturated, they say any rainfall has the potential to make an already bad situation even worse. David Compton, CNN.
