Ernesto Ameral, a 26-year-old farmer in Dombe, assesses his crops destroyed by Cyclone Idai. Before, he had enough food to feed his six children and wife, but now he relies on aid hand-outs. What little savings he had was also washed away in the raging flood waters, and he worries how his family will cope in the squeezed temporary accommodation at camps set up by the Mozambican government. The World Food Programme has been delivering food the area that was cut off from the rest of the country for about a week after the storm but farmers fear it will take months for crops to fully recover.
