Mozambican Rosita Salvador Mabuiango, born in a tree during the devastating 2000 floods, has died at 25 after battling a blood disorder. Her birth became a symbol of hope amid tragedy, and she later advocated for flood awareness in the U.S. President Daniel Chapo called her a symbol for girls in Mozambique, while analysts criticized the country’s healthcare system following her death. Rosita graduated high school in Chibuto and leaves behind a daughter.
