Maputo, Mozambique – Tragedy has struck Mozambique as Cyclone Chido sweeps through the region, raising the death toll to 73. 💔 The devastating storm has left communities in disarray, with many seeking shelter and aid.
The cyclone, which made landfall earlier this week, unleashed heavy rains and strong winds, causing widespread flooding and damage. Emergency services are working around the clock to assist those affected. 🙏
Local hero Maria Fernandes shared her experience: “We lost everything in a matter of hours. The water levels rose so quickly; we barely had time to escape.” Stories like Maria’s are all too common as families struggle to find safety.
International aid organizations are mobilizing resources to support relief efforts. South and Southeast Asian communities are especially attuned to such natural disasters, drawing parallels with cyclones and typhoons that have impacted our own regions. 🌏
As the world watches, it’s a stark reminder of the impact of climate change and the urgent need for global solidarity. Let’s keep Mozambique in our thoughts and support in any way we can. ❤️
