The United Nations team in Zimbabwe has joined the government and other partners in supporting about 8,000 people affected by cyclone Idai in the southeastern parts of the country.

In a tweet, the United Nations in Zimbabwe urged people to take heed to SMS and media alerts sent by the Civil Protection Unit. Said UN:

UN in Zimbabwe is on the ground in Chimanimani district and other areas to support 8,000 people affected by flooding & landslides caused by #Cycloneidai. Sadly, lives have been lost & properties destroyed. Please take heed to SMS & media alerts by Civil Protection.

Zimbabwean civil society is also mobilizing resources to help people whose houses were destroyed in flooding, rock slides and mudslides that have left at least 65 people dead and scores of others missing since Friday.
