The UN describes this as the worst natural disaster in Southern Africa ever.
Almost a hundred Zimbabweans had been confirmed dead at the time of publishing this. thousands of homes have been destroyed or partially destroyed and about 600 families have been left completely homeless. Citizens from across the country and others outside the country have involved themselves in offering relief.
