Over the weekend, Cyclone Idai battered Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Winds of up to 170 km per hour has swept away roads, homes and bridges and knocked out power and communication lines. The cyclone devastated Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi on March 15, but the extent of the damage is only now coming to light.
Mozambique
90% of the city of Beira in Mozambique has been severely damaged or destroyed, displacing hundreds of thousands of people, and the death toll continues to rise as relief efforts take place on the ground.
The Young Africa Skills Training Centre’s in Manga and Dondo have both been severely damaged.
