Cyclone Idai: Flying over flooded Mozambique - BBC News

24/09/2026 · BBC News

Descrição

As Mozambique counts the cost of Cyclone Idai, the BBC's Africa editor Fergal Keane joined a helicopter flight over some of the worst-affected areas.

The pilot pointed towards the east across the expanse of brown water. "We are 15 miles from the sea," he said, "but it feels as if we are right over it." He was right. Below us, farmland that had been home to thousands of people had disappeared.

Charities say thousands of people are stranded by catastrophic flooding, clinging to roofs or stuck in trees.

About 300 people are confirmed dead in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, but the toll is expected to rise.

so inhumane how the world turns a blind eye to certain countries (mostly African) when they go through tragedies. The lack of media coverage, social media attention ect to this topic means less donations will be made to our brothers and sisters. Please lets do better in spreading these news especially us Africans. If we can #prayfornewzealand we can definetely get our countries to trend therefore more people can be aware and hopefully lend a helping hand. ❤❤❤
