During the night of March 14th, Mozambique was hit by strong winds and torrential rains. Landslides occurred in the port city of Beira, and the two largest rivers, the Buzi and the Pungue, overflowed. They flooded entire villages, and destroyed houses and roads. Two days later, the same storm hit Zimbabwe and also raged in Malawi. The disaster also destroyed the crops of millions of people just before harvest.
According to the United Nations (UN), it was one of the worst storms southern Africa has experienced in decades. The UN claims the storm triggered a humanitarian crisis that affected about 2.5 million people.
