Malawi’s president appeals for immediate aid after Cyclone Freddy

Tropical Cyclone Freddy hit the coast of southern Africa for a second time over the weekend, causing devastation in Malawi and its neighbour Mozambique.

At least three hundred and twenty six people have been confirmed dead in Malawi, bringing the overall number of fatalities across the region to more than four hundred since February.

Chakwera, who declared fourteen days of mourning and pledged one point five million dollars in assistance, has now called for more aid, saying the country’s capacity to provide relief is limited.
