Devastating cyclone tracks trail of destruction across southeast Africa
In neighboring Zimbabwe, the official death count stands at 98 but is likely to grow as hundreds are still missing.
Beira, a low-lying coastal city of 500,000 people, is home to Mozambique's second-largest port and serves as a gateway to landlocked countries in the region. In eastern Zimbabwe, grieving families are rushing to bury their dead because the cyclone has knocked out power supplies and stopped mortuaries from functioning. Zimbabwe's Grain Millers Association said 100 trucks carrying wheat destined for Zimbabwe were stuck in Beira.Rick Emenaket / AFP - Getty Images
