VTV.vn - Cyclone Idai has caused massive damage to the Mozambican port city of Beira, with nearly 90 percent of the area destroyed.

Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi said on Monday that the number of people killed in the powerful storm and preceding floods in Mozambique could exceed 1,000, pushing the potential death toll far higher than current figures.

Only 84 deaths have been confirmed so far in Mozambique as a result of the cyclone, which also left a trail of death and destruction across Zimbabwe and Malawi, with vast areas of land flooded, roads destroyed, and communications wiped out.
