Cabo Delgado was the area most affected by the fury of cyclone Chido, which swept through Mozambique in the early hours of Sunday, 15 December, after causing destruction in the French archipelago of Mayotte. There are dozens of fatalities, thousands of people lost everything, and now are asking how they will survive. In an initial report, the Diocese of Pemba speaks of a “frightening scene of destruction”, and even the IDP camps for victims of terrorism were levelled.
