At least 162 peoplehave lost their lives so far in the devastating storm across the region. In Mozambique, the city of Beira has been nearly entirely wiped out.

More than 300 people are missing according to the government. The United Nations in Zimbabwe said that more than 8,000 people have been affected by the flooding in the eastern parts of the country. According to the government, Cyclone Idai hit the Ngangu Township are in Chimanimani the hardest where most lives were lost. Over a hundred houses were damaged by falling mud and rocks. The storm originated in the Indian Ocean and led to a torrential rainstorm which commenced in Mozambique on Thursday, with wind speeds of about 160 kilometers per hour, reportedly causing ocean waves of up to 9meters high. The police and military have been deployed to assist in the evacuation of victims. Visibility, according to the Information ministry, has significantly improved, and this will help airforce helicopters to evacuate more people. Local government minister July Moyo saidthat bodies are currently being seen floating in rivers, and nothing much can be done at the moment. Roads, bridges, and telephones are currently cut off and hundreds of homes destroyed. Country director for the International Red Cross (IRC) Zimbabwe, Paolo Cernuschi, said the IRC teams in Zimbabwe were trying to reach communities affected by the cyclone, but the infrastructure damage is severe and the teams couldn't reach Chimanimani or Chipinge. “Urgent road repairs are in progress,so we will try again in the morning,” said Cernuschi.
