CycloneKenneth: Red Cross reports serious damage in northern Mozambique, calls for aid
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies teams in northern Mozambique have reported serious damage in towns and communities that bore the brunt of Cyclone Kenneth since April 27.
“Rains from Cyclone Kenneth, the second tropical storm to hit Mozambique within weeks, continued to pound the north-eastern city of Pemba and surrounding areas, causing massive flooding and destruction. The government described the situation as ‘critical’ in other centres of Cabo Delgado province, which are unreachable by road, and said the death toll could rise due to ‘worrying’ rains,” according to IFRC.
