At least 94 persons have been killed by cyclone Chido in Mozambique since it made landfall in the country last week, the National Institute of Risk and Disaster Management has said.
It also revealed that 768 people were injured, and more than 622,000 people affected by the natural disaster, which has thrown the country into national mourning.
The same cyclone wreaked havoc in the French Indian Ocean territory of Mayotte before moving on to Mozambique, Malawi, and Zimbabwe.
The natural disaster hit Mozambique on 15 December with winds of 260 km/h (160mph) and 250 mm of rainfall in the first 24 hours.
The storm struck northern provinces that are regularly battered by cyclones, although it first reached Cabo Delgado before travelling further inland to Niassa and Nampula.
According to the INGD, the cyclone impacted the education and health sector, with more than 109,793 students affected with school infrastructure severely damaged.
