BEIRA, Mozambique - Rescue teams in Mozambique moved hundreds of people displaced by Cyclone Idai’s massive and deadly flooding to safer shelters on Monday, while the government made preparations for a cholera outbreak that it says is inevitable amid the devastation.

“We are more organized now, after the chaos that we’ve had, so we’re delivering food and shelter to more people today,” Land and Environment Minister Celso Correia told reporters. Idai lashed Beira with winds of up to 170 kph on March 14, then tore inland through Zimbabwe and Malawi, flattening buildings and killing at least 686 people across the three countries.

REUTERS/Mike HutchingsThe scale of the disaster has meant aid has been slow to arrive. Communities near Nhamatanda, around 100 km northwest of Beira, were due to receive assistance on Monday. On Sunday inhabitants of poor farming communities in that area told Reuters their food had run out and rescuers were yet to reach them.

Correia said the death toll in Mozambique remained roughly unchanged at 447 on Monday. Zimbabwe’s Local Government Minister July Moyo told state radio that the storm had killed 179 people in Zimbabwe, up from a previous government estimate of 154, but that 329 people were still unaccounted for.
