Three key countries in Southern Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi are now recovering from the devastation caused by the tropical storm – cyclone Idai.
Over 2.6 million people have been affected by the cyclone and its associated flooding.
Thousands have been displaced with deaths likely to reach a toll of 1,000 according to officials in affected countries.
Here are some pictures revealing the real impact of the cyclone.
Cyclone Idai destroyed homes, schools, hospitals among others in mainly three countries – Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe.
Thousands have also been cut off from roads with telephones, power and water supplies hugely affected in rural areas.
The UN also says the cyclone could be one of the worst weather-related disaster recorded in the southern hemisphere.
Many rivers in affected countries have also broken their banks, leaving a huge area covered by the waters, and only accessible by air and water.
Rescue efforts are still ongoing to support those in dire need of help.
The cyclone Idai was expected to make a landfall in these three countries after days of heavy rains led to deadly flooding.
