People walk down a flooded road next to buildings damaged by Cyclone Idai in Beira, Mozambique.
Caroline Haga, a senior International Federation of the Red Cross official who is in Beira, said the situation could be far worse in the surrounding areas, which remained completely cut off by road and where houses were not as sturdy. In the early hours of Monday morning, rescuers launched dinghies onto chest-high waters, navigating through reeds and trees – where some people perched on branches to escape the water – to rescue those trapped by the flooding.
Many people had been sleeping in the mountains since Friday, after their homes were flattened by rock falls and mudslides or washed away by torrential rains.
So sorry Mozambique. Sometimes nature can be so cruel.
never trust a mozambican
Sad indeed sorry for the loss of life
