Description:
March 2019 – On March 14, Cyclone Idai, a category 2 storm, made landfall near Beira, Mozambique, and continued its journey, causing significant loss of life, damage, flooding and displacement. The cyclone and its associated tropical depression will ultimately have claimed more than 800 lives and severely affected the livelihoods of more than 3 million people in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. In humanitarian emergencies, UNICEF’s project activities include: (1) providing people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities; (2) treating children for severe acute malnutrition; (3) providing emergency education programming for children; (4) ensuring protection services for children and women; and (5) providing basic healthcare.
