Manx Government donates £100,000 following devastating cyclone

Manx Government has donated £100,000 to help those affected by a major cyclone in Southern Africa.

The Island's Chief Minister tweeted earlier today, confirming a donation has been made to the Disaster Emergencies Committee (DEC) appeal. 

It comes following the intense storm which has hit Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe - killing hundreds of people, and leaving thousands homeless.

Floods and high winds have ripped apart roads, bridges and houses, with more than 300 people confirmed dead in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, but that number is expected to rise.
