Cyclone Freddy wreaks havoc in Malawi and Mozambique, urgent aid needed.

Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera has appealed for international aid after Cyclone Freddy struck twice, killing over 300 people and displacing hundreds of thousands. The president has declared 14 days of mourning and pledged $1.5m in assistance, but has called for more aid as the country's capacity to provide relief is limited. Recovering from such a storm cannot happen without international help, he said. The lack of clean water is the most pressing issue, which could cause a cholera outbreak like the aftermath of Cyclone Anna in the country's south last year.
