The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) needs USD 7.9 million in “additional support” to continue supporting more than 362,000 people affected by cyclones Chido and Dikeledi in northern Mozambique.
UNHCR said that it has already assisted around 30,000 people and that the additional support will serve to continue providing “crucial assistance” to those affected by the cyclones in Mozambique. Mozambique’s government announced the allocation of €120 million to assist in rehabilitating public infrastructure destroyed by cyclones Chido and Dikeledi in the north of the country. Mozambique is considered one of the countries most severely affected by climate change in the world, facing cyclical floods and tropical cyclones during the rainy season, which runs from October to April.
