Mozambique : Flood victims receive resettlement kit

From Federation News #15/01
Half a million people were again affected by floods in Mozambique this year. The Mozambique Red Cross and the Federation have been supporting 223,000 people living in community centres over the past four months. Now that water levels are receding people can go home. Before they leave, 20,000 of them will receive essential items, contained in a resettlement kit, funded by ECHO (European Commission Humanitarian Aid Office) and the Federation. Beneficiaries were selected among those who had not received certain items during the crisis. The kits contain essential articles such as kitchen sets, blankets, mosquito nets, clothes and most importantly, tools to rebuild destroyed homes and plant crops.
