Published purpose
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 in countries already facing acute food insecurity due to drought. 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. With GAC’s support, the World Food Program (WFP) is helping to meet the immediate food needs of those affected. Project activities include: (1) distribution of food; and (2) coordination and logistical support to relief efforts.
