Tropical Cyclone Idai struck the African countries of Zimbabwe,Action Archives Malawi, and Mozambique a week ago, but humanitarian workers are only now grasping the scale of the storm's destruction.
Hundreds are dead, and experts believe that number will rise sharply in the coming days. The storm brought catastrophic flooding that submerged entire villages and towns. The United Nations estimated that 2.6 million people were affected by the tragedy.

More than a dozen nonprofit organizations are working on the ground to provide relief, which includes shelter, medical care, clean water, and food.
