Planks of wood tied together with bits of frayed rope are all that hold up Joaquim Santiago Chapo’s mudbrick house in Guara Guara. His family rebuilt it after Idai hit, but parts remain damaged. With a metal-sheet roof held down with stones, Chapo said “it won’t resist the rains”. Guara Guara lies in Buzi district, another area badly affected by Idai. 110 people died here with many survivors evacuated on helicopters and boats, said district administrator Maria Roque. “We are still in an emergency,” she said.
