Officials at the main referral hospital in Blantyre said they could not cope with the sheer number of bodies that they were receiving. The national electricity company said it was unable to get its hydro-power plant working as it had been filled with debris.Some of these houses have crumbled into flood waters, while others have been entirely swept away.
Freddy is the strongest tropical cyclone on record and could also be the longest-lasting one, according to the World Meteorological Organization.
