Witnesses on Saturday reported that “300 to 400 bodies line the banks of a road out of the city of Beira in Mozambique,” according to CNN. Floodwaters from Cyclone Idai have created an “inland ocean” that is visible from space and may take months to recede. Rescue workers have not yet reached some of the affected areas one week after the deadly Category 2 cyclone struck. The Red Cross and Red Crescent say that the storm submerged “entire villages around a densely populated sugar cane plantation.” Authorities warn that the the destruction is “much worse than we imagined” and that humanitarian needs will “tragically only deepen in the coming weeks.” Several reports of cholera have been reported in the region.
