BREAKING: More than 1,000 people feared dead after Cyclone Idai strikes.
More than 1,000 people may have been killed by Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, the country’s president has claimed.
As much as 90 per cent of Mozambique’s central port city of Beira has been damaged or destroyed by the tropical storm, according to the Red Cross. The scale of the damage to Beira is ‘massive and horrifying,’ said Jamie LeSueur, who led a Red Cross aerial assessment of the city. The team had to view the city by helicopter because roads were flooded, he said.
