The Brazilian executive also said that the embassy in Maputo is available to assist Brazilians in emergency situations.

The level four tropical cyclone Chido, which hit the northern part of the country, has killed more than 70 people in the provinces of Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa and destroyed many socio-economic infrastructures.
