Devastated communities and relief workers in Malawi and Mozambique are confronting the aftermath of Cyclone Freddy which has left more than 250 people dead after four days of destructive wind and rain.

Freddy dissipated over land late on Wednesday, but tens of thousands have been displaced and weather monitoring centres warned that countries are still vulnerable to flooding and landslides.
