(CNN)Cyclone Idai may have killed more than a thousand people in Mozambique, the country’s President, Filipe Nyusi, said in an address to the nation broadcast on national radio Monday.
“Officially, we have a record of more than 84 dead but everything indicates that we can have a record of more than 1,000 dead,” Nyusi said, adding that “100,000 people are in danger.”
Nyusi was speaking after taking a flight over affected areas to view the destruction and rescue efforts.
