Is climate change the only thing making natural disasters worse? - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Two weeks ago Cyclone Idai tore through Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi, some of the poorest countries in Africa, leaving hundreds of thousands of people homeless and hundreds dead. Cholera has become a major concern among survivors. But it’s not just a catastrophic natural event, there are human causes behind the misery. BBC reporter Nomsa Maseko and Africa Editor Fegal Keane tell us a story of climate change, global corruption and devastation - but also progress and hope.

Producers: Duncan Barber and Jaja Muhammad.Editor: John Shields.
Mixed by Nicolas Raufast.
