Several schools in Manica province of have been forced to suspend classes because classrooms are functioning as accommodation centres for victims of Cyclone Idai.
While some serve as kitchens, others are used as dorms and health centres.

Lack of food and outbreaks of water-borne disease are frequent in accommodation centres.
In the commercial sector, business owners warn that, with the continuing rainfall and roads impassable, activity will collapse, and prices will rise.
