The second powerful cyclone to strike Mozambique in just six weeks rips off roofs and kills at least three people as the UN warns of 'massive flooding' ahead.
The second powerful cyclone to strike Mozambique in just six weeks ripped off roofs and killed at least three people on Friday as the United Nations warned of"massive flooding" ahead.
This is the first time in recorded history that the southern African nation has been hit by two cyclones in one season, the U.N. said. "Cyclone Kenneth may require a major new humanitarian operation" in one of the world's poorest nations, even as post-Cyclone Idai relief operations are expected to continue for months, U.N. humanitarian chief Mark Lowcock said in a statement.
"It's quite terrible, actually," Jorg Salzer, owner of the Miti Miwiri hotel on Ibo island, told The Associated Press. Two island residents have been reported dead, he said. About 24 hours before the storm arrived, authorities issued warnings on Ibo island, but"of course, no one really knows what a cyclone is," Salzer said."It's not a cyclone area."
