BEIRA - The number of people killed in Mozambique after a cyclone tore through southern Africa and triggered devastating floods has risen to more than 400, a government minister said on Saturday, as the United Nations warned of the risk of further flooding.
Cyclone Idai lashed the Mozambican port city of Beira with winds of up to 170 km per hour last week, then moved inland to Zimbabwe and Malawi, flattening buildings and putting the lives of millions at risk. “But unfortunately the number of dead is increasing, we have now 417 people who have lost their lives,” he said.Some survivors have taken refuge at churches and centers offering temporary shelter, while individuals joined international aid agencies and the government in rushing humanitarian aid to affected areas.
He added that the Buzi and Zambezi could break their banks again as heavy rains inland poured into low-lying Beira and surrounding areas.
