Millions of survivors face dire conditions after the tropical cyclone Idai smashed into Mozambique’s coast, unleashing hurricane-force wind and rain that flooded swathes of the country. Two weeks after the Cyclone, the homeless, hungry and injured are slowly making their way from devastated inland areas to the cities. The United States says it has donated nearly $3.4m in emergency food assistance to the UN’s World Food Program. Outside of the health centers, MSF and other NGOs are running mobile clinics to provide primary healthcare to the most affected communities. The World Health Organization is dispatching 900,000 doses of oral cholera vaccine to affected areas from a global stockpile.
