Tropical Cyclone Freddy has left a trail of destruction in its wake, causing at least 7 fatalities and displacing thousands of people in Mozambique. The storm made landfall in the Vilankulo District in the Inhambane Province on 24 February with winds of 95 km/h before weakening to a tropical storm. Freddy then tracked across seven districts in Inhambane and one in Gaza, an area where around 873,000 people live.

Heavy rainfall and flooding were already affecting parts of southern and central Mozambique before Cyclone Freddy arrived, and the additional rainfall brought by the storm has worsened the situation. The Save, Maputo, Incomati, Limpopo, Pungoé, Zambeze and Rovuma rivers were reported to be above alert levels on 25 February, and the risk of severe flooding in the Limpopo river basin has been highlighted by the Global Flood Awareness System.

As of 28 February, over 150,000 people across the provinces of Sofala, Inhambane and Gaza, as well as the city of Maputo, have been affected by the storm. Seven people have lost their lives, and 7 have been injured, with fatalities reported in Sofala and Inhambane provinces. Thousands of homes have been damaged and over 1,500 completely destroyed, and twenty-six evacuation centres have been set up in affected provinces, housing over 7,500 people displaced from their homes. The situation remains dire, and relief efforts are underway to assist those affected by the disaster.
