Mozambique’s government is leading a coordinated international response, with the EU, U.K., and other partners deploying rescue teams, aircraft, and essential supplies to support nationwide flood operations. Authorities have moved quickly to mobilize global assistance, with the EU providing $552,000 in aid and deploying specialists, while U.K. firefighters add critical flood-rescue capacity. The state-led effort underscores effective coordination and offers vital hope as teams work to reach hundreds still stranded.
Mozambique’s government is again appealing for international aid as its disaster response proves inadequate amid flooding that has displaced 600,000 people. Despite warnings, authorities failed to prepare, as the dam releases inundate communities, destroy over 5,000 kilometers of roads, and leave children facing deadly malnutrition and waterborne disease. The state still struggles to set up basic medical posts as deaths rise and cyclone season approaches.
