The cyclone which ripped through Mozambique before hitting neighbouring Zimbabwe and Malawi has been described as 'one of the worst weather-related disasters' in the southern hemisphere. Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi said the death toll could reach as high as 1,000, while the World Food Programme estimated at least 1.7m people were in the path of Cyclone Idai in Mozambique. More than 200 people have been killed in Mozambique and 400,000 were left homeless. Huge expanses of the country are flooded and continuing rain is causing waters to rise, putting thousands of families in danger and forcing many to flee to rooftops and treetops.
