BEIRA, Mozambique - Worshippers gathered at battered churches in the Mozambican port of Beira on Sunday, praying for divine protection as the death toll crept up from a cyclone and floods around southern Africa.
Cyclone Idai hit Beira, on the Indian Ocean, with winds up to 170 kph , before barreling inland to Zimbabwe and Malawi, flattening homes and killing at least 656 people. The congregation stretched arms skywards and swayed in prayer. “You can see the strength in their eyes,” said the 36-year-old pastor, known as Junior. “From today, we are looking forward.”“Only with God can we move forward,” said Rosa Manuel, 59, who lost a house she had built to rent.
