More than 100 people have died and many more are missing in Mozambique and neighboring Zimbabwe on Sunday after tropical cyclone Idai barreled across the southern African nations with flash floods and ferocious winds, AFP reported.

Authorities in Zimbabwe said the toll there had risen to 65 in the country, while Mozambique said 48 people were killed in affected areas.

It is reported that two pupils at a secondary school were among those killed.

Soldiers on Sunday helped rescue nearly 200 pupils, teachers, and staff who had been trapped at the school in Chimanimani, Zimbabwe.
