Mozambique cyclone death toll at 38

The death toll in Mozambique after flooding caused by cyclone Kenneth has risen to 38, the government says.

Mozambique's government says the death toll from last week's Cyclone Kenneth has jumped to 38 as flooding continues.

The new toll was announced on Monday as heavy rains continued to hamper efforts to deliver food and shelter to badly hit communities. More rain is forecast in the days ahead.

Kenneth roared into northern Mozambique on Thursday, just six weeks after Cyclone Idai struck the central part of the country. Flooding caused most of the more than 600 deaths that followed.
