AWARD HONORED WORK: “Massacre at Cuska”
Floods last spring in Mozambique drove more than a half a million people from their homes and claimed 700 lives. While most of the world ignored the disaster, NBC Nightly News sent several teams to cover the story as it unfolded. The results — including the heroic rescue of a woman who had given birth in a tree — were brave, compelling, and even stirring.
