Claim: A video viewed thousands of times on Facebook and YouTube claims to show victims of Cyclone Idai, which hit Mozambique in March. This is false; the video actually shows drowned migrants off the coast of Libya in 2014.
Fact-check: This video of washed up bodies dates to 2014 in Libya and not the recent cyclone in Mozambique or last year's tsunami in Palu
