The impact of Tropical Cyclone Freddy on Mozambique and Malawi has been devastating, with high winds, flooding, and landslides causing the death of more than 600 people. These are exacerbating the already deadly cholera outbreaks, and leaving nearly 2 million in need of humanitarian assistance.
The Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of International Development and Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada, today announced that the Government of Canada will provide up to a total of $8M in humanitarian assistance for those affected by the cyclone in Malawi and Mozambique.
Canada’s support will help scale-up the humanitarian response to provide critical emergency assistance, including food, safe water and sanitation, health services and shelter to those in need.
