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 estimated that over 525,000 people, 856 schools and 145 health centres that are in the areas were considered most at risk. At least two deaths were reported.
Filipo came while the country is still recovering from Cyclone Freddy, the longest lasting cyclone on record which struck over a year ago.
