Seven dead as Cyclone Gombe hits Mozambique

At least seven people died as Tropical Cyclone Gombe made early morning landfall in Mozambique on Friday, packing wind speeds exceeding 200 kmh (125 mph) that pummelled north and central areas of the country, Reuters quoted President Filipe Nyusi as saying.

The southern African country has been struggling to recover from a series of devastating cyclones that have killed scores of people and displaced thousands.
