Aid arrives as Mozambique fights cholera after devastating cyclone

International assistance arrived as Mozambique battled to control a fastspreading cholera outbreak in the cyclone-hit central city of Beira.

The number of cholera cases jumped to 271 over the weekend, although no deaths from the disease had been reported.

More than 500 people died in Mozambique from Cyclone Idai, which slammed into Beira more than two weeks ago. An additional 250 died in neighboring Zimbabwe and Malawi.
