BEIRA, Mozambique - Aid workers rushed to save people trapped by floods around the Mozambican port city of Beira on Wednesday, after a powerful cyclone killed hundreds and left a trail of destruction across swathes of southeast Africa.
Mozambique, whose tiny $13 billion economy is still recovering from a currency collapse and debt default, has declared a national state of emergency as it faces catastrophic flooding in Idai’s wake. Trower described scenes where mothers passed him their children from trees and crowds of people swarmed around rescue helicopters when they were able to land.
Malawi has not released details of casualties from the storm, which weakened as it moved further inland. More than 50 people died in floods the week before the cyclone hit. Aid groups have struggled to reach survivors trapped in more remote areas of Mozambique where some villages are submerged.
