Cyclone Disaster in Mozambique and

Surrounding Region



March   22, 2019

On March 14, a large and powerful tropical storm dubbed Cyclone Idai came ashore at Beira, a low-lying
port city in central Mozambique, in southeastern Africa. It featured sustained winds as high as 120 miles
per hour prior to making landfall and dumped torrents of rain over large parts of Mozambique, Malawi,
Zimbabwe, and Madagascar. Its effects have been expansive and catastrophic-covering at least 1,200
square miles-and it is among the worst natural disasters ever to hit the region. Flooding has limited
humanitarian response organizations' access to much of the affected region.
