Cyclone Idai hit Zimbabwe a year ago.

Large parts of Mozambique were devastated when cyclone Idai swept across the country in early March. More than 1000 people died, hundreds of thousands are homeless, essential supplies are lacking. The port city of Beira was hit particularly hard. The government needs international aid for its reconstruction.

Cyclone Idai left a path of destruction in Mozambique. Now areas of the coastal city of Beira are struggling to address overflowing dumpsters as garbage collectors face blocked roads and other obstacles.

As the world body released a "wake-up call" on the impact of extreme weather, Mozambique has announced a spike in cholera cases. The illnesses are a direct result of Cyclone Idai, which has ravaged the country.

Help is on the way to people in Beira and outside urban areas worst hit by Cyclone Idai, but fears of epidemics like cholera are rising.

With heavily-populated areas of Mozambique now covered by a massive lake, survivors of Cyclone Idai face disease and hunger. Aid agencies say time is running out for the victims.
