After four days of destructive wind and rain, local communities and relief workers are now confronting the aftermath of Cyclone Freddy, which has killed more than 250 people and displaced tens of thousands of others across Malawi and Mozambique and may still cause further damage.

Cyclone Freddy dissipated over land late Wednesday, but weather monitoring centres warned that countries are still vulnerable to flooding and landslides.

At least 225 people have been killed in southern Malawi, including within the financial capital of Blantyre, officials said.

Around 88,000 people are still displaced and parts of the region remain inaccessible.
