World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

Many of the roads in the flood affected districts of Zambezia are unusable, therefore the logistics of food delivery is challenging

Apart from the roof sheets, not much else is salvageable from Anita Dias’s house. Despite the fact that her abode had three bedrooms and a spacious lounge, its flawed construction meant that the walls didn’t withstand the heavy rain and wind which the intemperate climate brought to Anita’s village. Anita recieved food assistance as her sweet potato and rice fields were damaged in the cyclone

350 families wait for food assistance after floods destroyed their crops.

Maria Lopes recieves 50 kg of maize for her family of six. This will enable the family to bridge the food gap which has been created by the cyclone in Zambezia province

In order to reach some of the remote communities, WFP has to transport food assistance by boat as road access is impossible. This district of Zambezia province has over 1,000 km of roads affected by flooding

The boat is able to take 15 sacks at a time which means the WFP staff will have to make over 30 trips to fulfill the needs of this community

Many of the rice fields in the Maganja da Costa district were flooded. This particular field was immersed in four feet of water.

Over 5,000 houses in the Maganja da Costa district of Zambezia province were affected by floods. Teja Mabaso and his little brothers Ze and Tsimo are happy to forage around and explore the new landscape of their house. The moat around the kitchen and fallen trees were brought about by cyclone Fuso in late January, which changed their familiar playground into a new world. Teja and his family have lost 80% of their food stocks.
