WASHINGTON \u2014 A strong cyclone that cut a deadly swath through Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe last month is expected to cost the three countries more than $2 billion, the World Bank has said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early estimates pointed to Cyclone Idai costing $2bn \u201cfor the infrastructure and livelihood impacts,\u201d the World Bank said in a statement after a meeting last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, about three million people have been affected, with near total damage in the worst affected areas,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Idai slammed into the Mozambican port city of Beira onMarch 14, then continued on a path westward towards Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

In Mozambique alone, more than 600 people died among the 1,5 million affected. About 344 have been killed in Zimbabwe. Southern Malawi was also drowned in heavy rainfall in an earlier phase of the storm, killing 59 people.<\/p>\n

The global lender said the cyclone had damaged the infrastructure corridor connecting the Mozambican port of Beira with Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, \u201cdisrupting regional trade and supplies of fuel, wheat and other goods\u201d.<\/p>\n

The United Nations has appealed for donations of $282m to fund emergency assistance for the next three months.<\/p>\n

The World Bank called for \u201cglobal collaboration\u201d as recovery and reconstruction gets underway for poor and vulnerable populations \u201cin the face of climate and disaster risk\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
