Death Toll Rises from Mozambique's Worst-Ever Cyclone
-----------------------------------------------------

In Mozambique, the death toll from Tropical Cyclone Kenneth is at 38 and
expected to rise, with aid agencies warning of a desperate struggle to
reach people cut off by raging floodwaters. The Category 4 storm was one
of the strongest to ever make landfall on mainland Africa. It came just
six weeks after another devastating storm, Cyclone Idai, hit Mozambique
and as sea surface temperatures off the coast of Africa continue to rise
due to climate change.
