'Help us, we are losing everything!' Mozambique resident struggle after devastating floods rage the country hit by Cyclone Kenneth
Kenneth arrived just six weeks after Cyclone Idai ripped into central Mozambique and killed more than 600 people with flooding. The new storm's remnants could dump twice as much rain as Idai, the UN World Program has said. As much as 250 millimetres , or about a quarter of the average annual rainfall for the region, had been forecast over the next few days.
There was no immediate word of deaths on Sunday. Authorities have said at least five people died after Kenneth roared in Thursday evening with the force of a Category 4 hurricane, stunning residents of a region where such a storm had not been recorded in the modern era. Aid groups wanted for news on Sunday from districts beyond Pemba that had been hit much harder by the cyclone.Homes destroyed
Livelihoods have been lost and people are wondering how they will cope in a country struggling with one of the world's highest poverty rates.
