Cyclone Freddy's Deadly Impact on Malawi and Mozambique
TL;DR Summary
Cyclone Freddy has caused widespread destruction in Malawi and Mozambique, killing at least 216 people and leaving tens of thousands displaced. Heavy rains triggered floods and mudslides, with Malawi's President declaring a "state of disaster" in the affected regions. Relief efforts are strained, with aid operations hindered by power and communication outages. Amnesty International has called on the international community to mobilize resources and boost aid and rescue efforts. Cyclones are becoming wetter, more frequent, and more intense due to human-caused climate change.
