Thousands likely dead in aftermath of Cyclone in Mozambique and surrounding countries

I was reading reports from overseas in Mozambique and surrounding countries and one man caught in the storm when it happened or shortly afterwards was talking about how people were wailing and moaning all night along a road. The following morning many many bodies were visible that had floated towards the road and were caught there by the currents. So, the wailing had been people discovering dead bodies all night long while camped on the road.

So, as you can see if you have read the reports where no vehicles can travel through the Luxembourg sized artificial lake caused by the storm there are people walking for miles and miles with no transportation next to dead bodies of people that cannot be recovered or dealt with because no vehicles can get there because the water is 2 to 6 feet or more deep everywhere where it fell from the Cyclone. Also, under conditions like this there is no potable water and food likely was harmed by collapsing houses all over because this is a third world country after all likely without strict building codes like you would have in the U.S. or Europe. So, all these problems likely will only get worse with no food, no water, dead bodies decomposing that cannot be easily removed because of no transportation so cholera and things like this could also be a problem soon to in a situation like this where bodies cannot be removed from standing water. And right now there are literally thousands of bodies of people littering the landscape of several nations and a lot of Mozambique is now a lake where at least 1.7 million people live (or did live before this happened).
