Maputo (Mozambique): Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi on Monday said that Cyclone Idai, which made landfall in Mozambique and other neighbouring countries, might have claimed the lives of more than 1,000 people, as torrential rains showed no signs of abating.
"Officially, we have a record of more than 84 dead but everything indicates that we can have a record of more than 1,000 dead," CNN quoted Nyusi as saying while addressing the nation. He added that "100,000 people are in danger."
