More than 80 people have now died and tens of thousands more are impacted after Tropical Cyclone Ana tore across southern Africa this week.
The European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations did not provide a breakdown of where the deaths occurred in its latest update, but earlier said Madagascar had been worst-hit, with at least 41 deaths and more than 110,000 people affected.
Ana made landfall in Angoche, Mozambique on Monday, hitting Malawi and Madagascar as well.
In Mozambique, at least 15 people died and more than 45,000 have been affected, while Malawi has reported at least 11 deaths, with almost 217,000 people impacted.
Heavy rainfall caused rivers to overflow, and floods and landslides resulted in casualties and widespread damage.
Though Ana has weakened, the South African Weather Service said Malawi and Zambia could experience more heavy showers over the weekend.
