The death toll in Mozambique from Cyclone Idai could reach 1,000, President Filipe Nyusi has said.
It made landfall close to the port city of Beira on Thursday with winds of up to 177 km/h (106 mph), but aid teams only reached the city on Sunday.
The official death toll stands at 84 following flooding and high winds, which have destroyed homes and ripped roofs from concrete buildings.
The cyclone has killed at least 180 people across southern Africa.
