MAPUTO, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The death toll from Storm Eloise has risen to 21 across southern Africa after Mozambique and eSwatini reported a further five and two people killed respectively.
Eloise, at the time a cyclone, slammed into Mozambique's central port city of Beira and surroundings - an area still recovering from the devastation of Cyclone Idai in 2019 - on Saturday. It then weakened to a tropical storm and moved inland to cause heavy rain and flooding across southern Africa.
Homes, crops and infrastructure in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, eSwatini - formerly Swaziland - and South Africa have been destroyed, with tens of thousands of people displaced in Mozambique especially after vast swathes of land were left underwater.
