Two survivors of cyclone Idai died and 11 were hurt when the breaks failed of an army truck delivering food aid in eastern Zimbabwe and it ploughed into a waiting crowd, an official said Friday.
Defence forces provincial spokesman Major Exavier Chibasa told AFP the accident happened at Skyline in the district of cyclone-ravaged Chimanimani on Thursday where victims of the cyclone were gathering to receive aid.
"The vehicle lost brakes while travelling on a steep gradient. There were people sitting on the sides of the road," Chibasa said.
"Unfortunately two of them fell victim and lost their lives. About 11 others were injured but not seriously."
