Authorities in Mozambique say that with a key road open to the badly-damaged city of Beira, conditions on the ground improving and more international help arriving, vital aid to those hit by Cyclone Idai should now flow more freely.

Aid teams are going to high points on islands created by Cyclone Idai and finding "a lot of people," Correia said.
