BEIRA: The death toll from floods triggered by Cyclone Idai in southern Africa has surpassed 500 so far, news agencies said.
Hundreds more have been feared dead in towns and villages that were completely submerged in the floods and landslides triggered by the cyclone a week ago.
The UN food aid agency said 400,000 people were displaced in Mozambique’s coastal city of Beira and flooded areas along the Pungue and Buzi rivers.
Aid agencies and several governments continued to step up their deployments.
