    During the night of 14 to 15 March 2019, Tropical Cyclone made landfall .The cyclone brought
    torrential rains and winds which caused destruction and damage to a lot of cities in Mozambique. The
    impact of Cyclone and subsequent flooding , has resulted in an estimated 1.85 million people in need of
    humanitarian assistance and protection. “As of 8 April, the official death rate have risen to 603 people, and
    more than 1,641 people are injured”, according to the prime minister. (§1)

    The cyclone which occurred right before the harvest, led to a massive loss in food and agricultural
    livelihoods with 490 thousand hectares of crop-land destroyed. It also severely impacted access to drinking
    water, and the standing water has led to an increased risk for water borne diseases like cholera. (§2)

    Humanitarian partners, together with charities and international relief organizations continue supporting
    the population affected by Cyclone by responding to survivors immediate needs including supplies like
    medicines ,food, fuel, hygiene kits ,and clothes .The process of relocation and resettlement is ongoing, but
    the recovery of the displaced population is likely to take long and need close monitoring and more
    resources. (§3)
