Cyclone Filipo in Mozambique
Tropical Cyclone Filipo made landfall in Mozambique on 12 March, after strengthening off the coast of southeast Africa, bringing strong winds and heavy rain to the Inhambane and Gaza provinces.
Government authorities estimate that over 525,000 people, 856 schools and 145 health centres are in the areas considered most at risk. At least two deaths have been reported.
Filipo comes while the country is still recovering from Cyclone Freddy, the longest lasting cyclone on record which struck over a year ago.

Quickviews are produced for illustration purposes only and do not contain any verified analysis of the disaster.
The banks of the Tembe river, which flows inland from Maputo bay, have flooded in several areas due to Tropical Storm Filipo. The black areas represent low backscatter of the radar signal and therefore potential standing water.
