Over 1,000 People Dead And 110,000 Misplaced As Massive Storm Hits Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe

Over 1,000 people dead and 110,000 people with an estimation of 900,000 children have been orphaned as Cyclone Idai hits Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.

The incident is regarded as one of the worst tropical cyclones on record to affect Africa as about 3 million people have been affected. In Mozambique the number of dead has risen to 456, with 269 dead in Zimbabwe and at least 66 dead in Malawi.

Sadly the incident happened over a week ago in the three Southern African countries,  but it is only getting media recognition now as workers try to restore electricity and water and prevent an outbreak of cholera.
