Hintergrundinformation

On 14 March 2019, category 3 cyclone Idai hit the coast of Mozambique, with sustained maximum winds of 210km/h moving through Sofala and Manica provinces towards Zimbabwe. Estimates indicate 1.85 million people have been affected by the cyclone and 600,000 need humanitarian assistance, though the full extent of the damage caused by Cyclone Idai’s landfall and related torrential rains and floods is not yet known. The UN and NGOs have prioritized the most time-critical life-saving activities in the education, health, WASH, food security, protection and nutrition sectors. Over 140 000 people were displaced after the cyclone passage and impact on houses, infrastructures (schools, health centers, roads…), water and sanitation facilities, land is substantial. As a result of the cyclone there is a lack of basic services or household materials. This poses extraordinary risks as an outbreak of cholera has spread (over 2,500 cases as of April 6th and 5 deaths) and other waterborne diseases are on the rise. Provision of basic Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services are therefore vital to ensuring community health, mitigating cholera, malaria and dengue and promote the dignity of most vulnerable.
