Their home, in the eastern Zimbabwean town of Chimanimani, lay in the path of Idai — a gigantic tropical cyclone that may have left more than a thousand dead in its wake.
The storm struck overnight Friday after first smashed into central Mozambique, whose president, Filipe Nyusi, said on Monday that at least a thousand people there may have perished. “There is no house left to talk about, no furniture, nothing to wear or cover oneself with. Only masses of broken bricks and rocks”.
Grief pervaded the Chimanimani community on Monday as families started burying their dead in damp graves, with some family members sharing one grave. Some roads were swallowed up by massive sinkholes, a business centre was wiped out while bridges were ripped to pieces by flash floods. Some of the most affected areas are not yet accessible, and high winds and dense clouds have hampered military rescue helicopter flights.
