Tropical cyclone worsens Tanzania’s flood crisis

Tanzania is breathing a sigh of relief now that Tropical Cyclone Hidaya has spared the country by causing little damage. The country’s Meteorological Agency announced Sunday that the cyclone was no longer a threat when it lost its strength after making landfall in the Indian Ocean on Saturday. However, government spokesperson Mobhare Matinyi tells VOA’s James Butty, the heavy rains left behind by Hidaya have compounded the flooding that has been impacting Tanzania and neighboring Kenya
