Cyclone Freddy wreaks havoc in Malawi, international aid requested.

Cyclone Freddy, a record-breaking storm, has caused widespread devastation in Malawi, including critical infrastructure, with over 300 documented deaths and nearly 90,000 people displaced. Schools have been shut down, and 165 camps have been built to provide shelter for affected households. The president has declared a 14-day national mourning period and appealed to the international community for help. Private citizens, multinational companies, and international organizations have started providing relief, but survivors are still distressed, with some losing their homes and loved ones.
