More than three dozen victims of the floods that followed following Cyclone Idai have been buried in mass graves in the district of Sussungenga after their bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition.
These citizens tried to take refuge in the treetops but because of hunger, low temperatures and a delay in their rescue, they ended up losing their strength falling in the water.
The official death toll from the cyclone in Mozambique is now 534.
