Homes destroyed. Roads washed away. Crops ruined. Four days after making landfall, Cyclone #Idai has left more than 400,000 people in need of immediate assistance. You can help: buff.ly/2TmMx4Y #CycloneIdai #Mozambique

I'm sure the US news cycle has forgotten it, but more than 1,000 people have now died as a result of the unprecedented Cyclone Idai and 4,000 cholera cases have bloomed in it's wake in Mozambique alone. #ClimateChange #CycloneIdai

This is just some of the damage Cyclone Kenneth brought to Mozambique. [Tap to expand] bbc.in/2PzKA52
