The death toll in Malawi from Tropical Storm Freddy rose to 99 on Monday, with 85 deaths recorded in the city of Blantyre alone, authorities have said. 

The country is struggling to contain the effects of the storm, which has wreaked devastation  in 10 of its southern region districts.  

Heavy rains accompanied by strong winds have destroyed houses, washed away roads and bridges, flattened crop fields and disrupted power generation.  

The Malawi government has declared a state of national disaster in the most affected districts.
