(Themba Hadebe/Associated Press)BUZI, Mozambique — She struggled home with food, her small daughter and the proof she was still alive. Cyclone Idai’s death toll has risen above 750 in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, the three southern African countries hit 10 days ago by the storm. It is a common heartbreak for thousands of families in central Mozambique, who have no way to learn about missing loved ones as destroyed communications networks struggle to return. People are desperately searching for family members separated by the flooding, destruction and death brought to the area more than a week ago by Cyclone Idai. As night fell and one wooden boat from Buzi approached the flickering, generator-lit Beira skyline, another passed in the dusk.
