More than 1,000 feared dead after massive cyclone slams into Mozambique
Rapidly rising floodwaters have created"an inland ocean" in Mozambique endangering scores of thousands of families, as aid organizations scramble to rescue and provide food to survivors of Cyclone Idai.
Mozambique's Pungue and Buzi rivers have overflowed, creating"inland oceans extending for miles and miles in all directions," said Verhoosel. Cyclone Idai created massive damage as it swept across central Mozambique before dropping huge amounts of rain in Zimbabwe's eastern mountains. That rainfall is now rushing back through Mozambique further inundating the already flooded countryside.
The lives of more than 100,000 people are at risk from the overflowing rivers, said the group in a statement. Save the Children, which works in coordination with Mozambique's government, says three trucks of relief items are on their way to Beira, the major city in the affected region which took"the full force" of the cyclone.
Hardest hit is Mozambique's Beira port, a city of 500,000 where thousands of homes have been destroyed.
