BEIRA, Mozambique - A powerful cyclone pounded northern Mozambique on Friday, leaving one person dead and wrecking homes and communications, barely a month after the country was hit by one of the worst storms in its history.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies reported "heavy damage" and wrecked homes in some coastal towns along the northern coast, while communication lines in Macomia and Muidumbe remain down. The storm also smashed into Zimbabwe and Malawi. In the three countries, more than a thousand lives were lost, and the damage is estimated at around $2 billion.
A helicopter is expected to arrived in Cabo Delgado when weather conditions allow as roads are expected to be impassable because of flooding, making food delivery difficult.
