Cyclone Kenneth crashed into the northern province of the nation on Thursday just as it was recovering from Cyclone Idai that hit further south in March. Weather experts are warning that Kenneth could dump twice as much rain on northern Mozambique as Idai did. It has already killed five people as it unleashed heavy rains and flooding that has caused rivers to burst their banks and smash whole villages.
The World Bank estimates Mozambique and other countries affected by the tropical storm will need more than $2bn to recover.
