The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns of the possibility of Cyclone Freddy regaining strength in Mozambican territory.

The information was shared in New York by the head of the UN agency, quoted by Rádio Moçambique.

The Development Director of the World Meteorological Organization, Mozambican Filipe LúcioHe said there were climatic conditions for the phenomenon to regenerate.

"The danger is not over yet. The cyclone can still regenerate. It's now heading towards the coast. Once it's on the coast, because of the humidity of the sea, it could intensify and enter Mozambique again. That's why it's still a major concern for the international community, but also for the communities in Mozambique," he said.

In statements broadcast by UN News and quoted by the newspaper Notícias in New York, Filipe Lúcio said that Cyclone Freddy represents a record in this type of phenomenon, which is why it continues to be a cause for concern for the UN.

The United Nations praises the Mozambican government's early action, stressing that it prevented an even greater number of deaths from Cyclone Freddy.
