During his Family Day and Year-End address to the nation yesterday, Nyusi revealed that Cyclone Chido caused 73 deaths, left one person missing, and injured 543 others, both seriously and lightly, across the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula, and Niassa.
He also noted the destruction of 52,476 homes, 39,133 of which were completely destroyed, leaving 329,510 people homeless.
