NEW The Mozambique Response Plan for Cyclone Freddy, Floods & Cholera (March - September 2023) was launched at the end of March. The plan will assist more than a million people across eight provinces of Mozambique – Gaza,
Inhambane, Manica, Maputo, Niassa, Sofala, Tete and Zambezia – that bore the brunt of the compounding effect of cholera, floods and cyclone Freddy. The storm generated significant damage to infrastructure, including houses, schools, and health facilities. Water systems, sanitation facilities as well as water supply infrastructures and latrines in communities and institutions were flooded and damaged. Water sources were contaminated. These conditions accelerated a cholera outbreak that had been growing since September 2022. The plan requires $138 million to assist 815,000 people.
