Victims from Cyclone Idai in Africa
Hundreds, and probably thousands, of people have died as a result of Cyclone Idai. The confirmed death toll across the southern African countries of Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi had risen to 750, government and United Nations (UN) sources said on Monday. Southern Africa has been hit with “possibly the worst weather-related disaster ever to hit the southern hemisphere,” said Clare Nullis of the UN World Meteorological Organisation. The storm initially battered the Mozambican port of Beira, a city of over half a million people, on 14 March. Aid agencies reported that 90 percent of the city had been destroyed by the storm. Many more casualties will be found. European Space Agency satellite images last week showed a huge new inland “lake” measuring about 80 miles by 15 miles in the area around Beira. A large number of people who sought refuge on rooftops and trees were still waiting to be rescued a week after the cyclone struck. People clinging to trees were trying to avoid snakes that also fled the flooding. A member of Rescue South Africa, an NGO, described the scene in one area of Mozambique shortly after the cyclone struck. “I have never seen water rise so fast,” he said. “At one village everyone was in the trees and the women were throwing their babies to us. When we went back the next day, only the treetops were visible. The whole village had gone.” Urgent An estimated 200,000 people in Chimanimani district in Zimbabwe are likely to need urgent food aid for the next three months, the World Food Programme said. “Some 90 percent of the district has been significantly damaged,” said a spokesperson. |

Re: Victims from Cyclone Idai in Africa
It's pretty amusing to watch the corpses start to drift out, and then get washed back up on the beach. Almost as if the ocean is saying 'Keep your smelly asses out of my pristine waters.'  |
