Cyclone Freddy Leaves Hundreds Dead in Malawi and Mozambique Malawi
Authorities announced late on March 15 that at least 53 people died in the Zambezia region of Mozambique, more than doubling their earlier estimate. Malawi has so far recorded 225 fatalities, hundreds more injuries, and some still unaccounted for. Before hitting Mozambique again, the cyclone had killed about 27 people in Madagascar and Mozambique.
Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera has declared 14 days of mourning for the fatalities, and the government has promised $1.5 million in aid, as mudslides and flooding forced more than 20,000 families to leave their homes.
