Ciklon Idai pomeo Mozambik: Broj žrtava porastao na 750, gradovi se nakon dva tjedna počinju obnavljati

Oluja 2. kategorije pogodila je u noći 15.3. Mozambik te pokosila sela i gradove. Orkanski vjetar i poplave izazvane izlijevanjem dviju velikih rijeka rezultirali su stotinama žrtava i potpuno uništenim gradovima i selima.

We are thinking about the nations in Southern Africa that have been devastated by Cyclone #Idai. 1,000 people are feared dead in this latest climate disaster that has destroyed 90% of the port city of #Beira, a city equivalent to the size of Atlanta. pic.twitter.com/6EuSoAPnQR

Beira, mozambićka luka u indijskom oceanu, potpuno je uništena, procjenjuje se da je 90% gradske infrastrukture teško oštećen, a dva tjedna nakon ciklona, gradske vlasti se počinju organizirati kako bi se život ponovno vratio u grad, piše CNN.

Trenutno je broj poginulih 750 osoba, a još najmanje 446 ih se smatra nestalima. Više od pola milijuna ljudi je pogođeno ciklonom, a čak 110.000 je bilo evakuirano i smještene u posebne kampove na sigurno. 

Hundreds of thousands of people are newly homeless in Mozambique after #Idai. Response is a disaster. Imagine if instead of choking the airwaves with non stop chatter about a report no one has read, cable news actually covered the global climate crisis https://t.co/DMlQndlqN3
