A week after Cyclone Idai hit coastal Mozambique and swept across the country to Zimbabwe, the death, damage and flooding continues in southern Africa, making it one of the most destructive natural disasters in the region's recent history.
"Yesterday, 910 people were rescued by the humanitarian community," said Caroline Haga of the International Federation of the Red Cross in Beira. She said 210 were rescued by five helicopters and 700 were saved by boats. Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa received a somber welcome in the eastern town of Chimanimani Wednesday. Zimbabwean officials have said some 350 people may have died in their country. The force of the flood waters swept some victims from Zimbabwe down the mountainside into Mozambique, officials said.
He is one of many villagers trying to pick up the pieces in Chimanimani after losing homes, livestock and, in many instances, family members. Some have been taken in by neighbors and others are sheltering with church pastors.

Death toll in Mozambique cyclone, floods could surpass 1,000: presidentThe number of people killed in a powerful storm and preceding floods in Mozambiq... With all of this devastation has anyone notice how much the president has been talking about this tragedy? Yeah me neither. Guess they don't count because they live in one of his sh*thole countries. SMH fakeasschristians Trump didn’t say anything about the president of Zimbabwe turning of the internet and murdering his own people either. Probably cause they’re buddies w Putin. Frat boys 🙄 Whelp, I guess the Mass Media is finally jumping on the 'Global Warming Train' full speed, then huh? Amazing how, after years of denying it, all these newspapers are now in support: Now that we are only 20 years (max) away from the technology to fix any Environmental Issues.

More than 1,000 feared dead after Cyclone Idai slams into MozambiqueMore than 1,000 people were feared dead in Mozambique four days after a cyclone slammed into the country, submerging entire villages and leaving bodies floating in the floodwaters, the nation's president said. It’s obviously Trumps fault. Wow, so much crazy weather. I wonder what’s going on? Very sad. Such loss of life, and such a long difficult recovery from these storms. It's a very prone region to major cyclones, much like Florida and the Gulf Coast.
