On March 14th of 2019, cyclone Idai affected Mozambique, Zimbabwe ans Malawi. The torrential rains that fell on these 3 countries during the formation of the cyclone, and more specifically in Mozambique and Malawi, were devastating. The cyclone is estimated to have affected 1.5 million people in the three countries. This cyclone destroyed 90% of the buildings and caused huge floods. A few weeks later, on 25 April, Cyclone Kenneth hit northern Mozambique, particularly in the district of Ibo. More than 2 million people were affected by these two cyclones. This is the first time two cyclones have hit Mozambique in the same season, according to the United Nations.
