'It is a real disaster of great proportions.' More than 1,000 feared dead in Mozambique four days after a cyclone slammed into the country, submerging entire villages and leaving bodies in the floodwaters.

JOHANNESBURG — More 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.Cyclone Idai could prove to be the deadliest storm in generations to hit the impoverished southeast African country of 30 million people.

U.N. agencies and the Red Cross helped rush emergency food and medicine by helicopter to the stricken countries. “The waters of the Pungue and Buzi rivers overflowed, making whole villages disappear and isolating communities, and bodies are floating,” Nyusi said. The destruction in Beira is “massive and horrifying,” said Jamie LeSueur, who led a Red Cross team that had to assess the damage by helicopter because of the flooded-out roads.

MSF_USA But you won't see this get center stage on news or trending on Twitter. Disgraceful. Where is the humanity? Also, in a world of stronger storms due to climate destruction this will become the 'norm'. No more time to ignore this.

How, when you lose nothing, it's everything 😪 these people will struggle alone to get some sort of life back.

Horrible.

This is horrible. 💔

Over 60 thousand killed, 120 in February alone, no one gives a sh!t MSM silent !

Meltdown glaciers redeposited in torrential rain

May God be with them!

Tragedies in Africa are always ignored. Imagine the hashtags if this was in the Western world.

Yeah... But we in Europe are struggling with much more important things. Özil invited Erdoğan to his wedding! Can you imagine? ... irony

May God bless all involved including the first-responders & aid workers. Amen.

My prayers
