Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The death toll from a cyclone that struck Mozambique this week climbed to 12 on Sunday after devastating wind and rain lashed the southern African country.<\/p>\n

Cyclone Gombe has affected more than 30,000 people, injuring 40, and destroyed more than 3,000 homes since making landfall on Friday.<\/p>\n

Powerful winds reaching 170 kilometres per hour (105 mph) and torrential rainfall have hit the northern Nampula province by the Indian Ocean and neighbouring Zambezia province particularly hard.<\/p>\n

In the port city of Nacala, houses were teetering on the edge of cliffs facing the ocean and walls had collapsed, an AFP photographer saw.<\/p>\n

Most thatched roofs were damaged and another made of sheet metal lay on the ground after the wind swept away the bricks, while uprooted trees also littered the ground.<\/p>\n

Eight shelters have opened in Nampula, Mozambique\u2019s most populous province which suffered death and destruction when Tropical Storm Ana struck in January.<\/p>\n

Mozambique was devastated by Cyclone Idai in 2019, the most violent storm to ever hit the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cGombe arrived with more intensity than Idai, but luckily it didn\u2019t have the same impact, in terms of destruction and the fact that it lost strength right at the beginning,\u201d said Cesar Tembe from Mozambique\u2019s national institute for risk management.<\/p>\n

Gombe is now moving towards Malawi, according to Meteo-France.<\/p>\n

Around 80 tropical storms or cyclones form above tropical waters around the world each year. The cyclone season in southern Africa lasts from November to April.<\/p>\n
