Cyclone Favio with sustained winds of 125 miles an hour swept ashore in central Mozambique today.

Storms and torrential rains in the past 10 days in southern and central Mozambique have killed nine people and made about 7,000 homeless, the National Disasters Management Institute said today.

A national disaster management team was sent to a small town near the epicentre of Mozambique’s earthquake today to evaluate the damage caused by a quake that killed four people, injured 27 and destroyed more than 100 homes yesterday.

Irish actor Liam Neeson today pledged to highlight the plight of tens of thousands of children orphaned by AIDS and HIV after an inspiring trip to stricken Mozambique.
