Tracking Cyclone Chido as it Threatens Southern Africa
Authorities in Southern Africa are preparing emergency responses for Tropical Cyclone Chido, which is moving through the region in the next few days.
The Zimbabwean Meteorological Services Department has warned that, due to its intensity, the cyclone will likely land this weekend.
The cyclone is expected to make landfall in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province by Sunday, December 15, authorities said, after passing through six countries. Characterized by strong winds and heavy rains, Chido is reported to have the same intensity as previous cyclones that hit the region.
About 2.7 million people in six countries in southern Africa including the Comoros (368,508), Madagascar (135,838), Malawi (440,479), Mauritius (225), Mozambique (1,753,234) and Seychelles (16) are projected to be affected by the passage of the intense tropical cyclone Chido, according to the Automated Disaster Analysis and Mapping (Adam) by WFP.
