In Mozambique, persistent heavy rainfall has caused massive flooding, while a cyclone recently struck the region during the tropical storm season. Homes have been destroyed, schools damaged and health centres severely affected. Hundreds of thousands of people have been impacted, nearly half of them children.
In several areas, water and health infrastructure was already limited before the disaster. The floods have worsened this fragility and disrupted access to essential services.
Contaminated water and cholera outbreaks
Floodwaters contaminate wells and disrupt the supply of safe drinking water. In overcrowded accommodation centres, hygiene conditions deteriorate rapidly.
In this context, cholera spreads more easily. To contain outbreaks, we support cholera treatment centres and carry out vaccination campaigns to protect children and limit the spread of the disease.
