Cyclone Idai smashed into Mozambique's coast unleashing hurricane-force wind and rain that flooded swathes of the poor country before battering eastern Zimbabwe - killing 705 people across the two nations.
The World Food Programme said Friday that the humanitarian disaster unfolding in Mozambique is on a par with the situation in Yemen and Syria which are both in the grip of civil wars. "It is normal. It's almost inevitable. Malaria, we know how it arises. We have lots of wetlands and we're going to have malaria that is sure to come up ."Wilfried Deloviare, a 19-year-old resident of Beira which was caught in the eye of the storm, said he felt"sorry for our town, our city, because we suffered a lot to build it".
"The people don't know what to do because they lost their houses, they have no food, they don't know where to sleep - this brings sadness and anxiety," said Father Pedro who conducted a mass in darkness late on Saturday.
