Aftermath of Cyclone Idai in Mozambique

A picture shows plants utility poles and electrical pylons in the flooded area outside the coastal city of Beira in central Mozambique after the area was hit by the Cyclone Idai. Rescue workers in Mozambique were racing against time to pluck people off trees and rooftops, after a monster storm reaped a feared harvest of more than 1,000 lives before smashing into Zimbabwe. Four days after Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall, torrential rains and powerful winds, combined with flash floods that have swept away roads and bridges, inflicted further pain on the two impoverished countries.
