Cyclone Idai Death Toll Rises as Officials Warn of Health Risks
---------------------------------------------------------------

The death toll from the catastrophic Cyclone Idai has surpassed 750
people across Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. Over 100,000 people are
now living in camps for the displaced, 10 days after the cyclone made
landfall. As rescue efforts continue in the southeastern African
nations, officials are warning of cholera and malaria outbreaks. The
U.N. says that nearly half of the 1.7 million people affected by Idai
are children.
