South Africa’s Cyclone idai victims buried in mass grave

The South African countries continue to experience the disastrous cyclone idai which has claimed lives and displaced thousands.

More than three dozen victims of the floods that followed following Cyclone Idai have been buried in mass graves in the district of Sussungenga after their bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition.

The first cases of cholera have been reported in the cyclone-ravaged Mozambican city of Beira, complicating an already massive and complex emergency in the southern African country.

The announcement of five cases of the waterborne disease follows days of mounting fears that cholera and other diseases could break out.

The nighbouring countries and international have been flocking the area giving out aid to the victims

The victims tried to take refuge in the treetops but because of hunger, low temperatures and a delay in their rescue, they ended up losing their strength falling in the water.

Death toll has now hit 530 with others receiving medications from international aid.
