Mozambique hit by new cyclone; 3 dead, flooding feared

Associated Press  

JOHANNESBURG — The second powerful cyclone to rip into Mozambique in just six weeks stunned residents Friday in a region where such storms had not been recorded in the modern era. More worryingly, the storm’s remnants in the next 10 days could dump twice as much rain as Cyclone Idai did on central Mozambique last month, World Food Program spokesman Herve Verhoosel said. “It’s not a cyclone area.” He said two island residents were reported dead, and Mozambique’s emergency operations center said a woman in the city of Pemba was killed by a falling tree. “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. “This is a very vulnerable area, higher in poverty” than the one hit by Cyclone Idai, Red Cross spokeswoman Katie Wilkes said.
