«Breaking News» Mozambique cyclone feared to have killed a thousand people

A cyclone in Mozambique may have killed more than 1,000 people, the country's president has said.

Filipe Nyusi said Cyclone Idai had caused mass devastation and predicted the current death toll of 84 would rise enormously. 

Speaking to state radio after flying over the port city of Beira and viewing the flooding and devastation, Nyusi said he saw bodies floating in the flooded areas.

Ruined: This picture taken by the United Nations World Food Programme shows a collapsed building in Beira, where access to the rest of the country by air and road has been cut off 

Beira has been severely battered by the cyclone which cut off electricity, forced the airport to shut down and cut off road access to the rest of the country. 

The Red Cross said that 90 percent of Beira, a city of 500,000, had been damaged or destroyed.  

Describing the cyclone's impact as 'massive and horrifying' they said the scale of devastation was 'enormous'.  

The charity's Jamie LeSueur said: 'Almost everything is destroyed. Communication lines have been completely cut and roads have been destroyed. Some affected communities are not accessible.

'Beira has been severely battered. But we are also hearing that the situation outside the city could be even worse. Yesterday, a large dam burst and cut off the last road to the city.'  

Cyclone Idai first hit Beira last week and then moved inland to Zimbabwe and Malawi.  

At least 31 deaths have been reported and over 100 people are missing in Zimbabwe, the Red Cross said.  

Damage at the airport in Beira in the aftermath of the cyclone has caused the transport hub to close and cut the city off from the rest of the country

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
