MORE than 200 people are now confirmed dead in Malawi after Tropical Storm Freddy ripped through southern Africa for the second time in a month.
 
Huge amounts of brown water have cascaded through neighbourhoods, sweeping away homes.
 
Malawi’s commercial hub, Blantyre, has recorded most of the deaths, including dozens of children.
 
Aid agencies are warning that the devastation will exacerbate a cholera outbreak in Malawi.The government has declared a state of disaster in 10 southern districts that have been hardest-hit by the storm.
 
Rescue workers are overwhelmed, and are using shovels to try to find survivors buried in mud.
 
“We have rivers overflowing, we have people being carried away by running waters, we have buildings collapsing,” police spokesman Peter Kalaya told the BBC.
