MSF responds to Cyclone Chido in northern Mozambique

MSF has launched an emergency response to ensure access to healthcare in the most affected area of northern Mozambique following the devastation caused by the deadly Cyclone Chido, which made landfall here on 15 December further damaging the health system in the conflict-hit African country. MSF mobile teams will focus on providing mental health and logistics support and on helping the main health centre in Mecufi district, Cabo Delgado province, to continue running medical activities.

As of 22 December, 622,610 people have been affected across northern Mozambique, predominantly in the province of Cabo Delgado but also in Nampula and Niassa provinces, according to data from Mozambique’s National Institute for Natural Disaster (INGD): in total, 94 people have died, 768 others have sustained injuries; and 140,000 homes, 250 schools and 52 health facilities have been either completely or partially destroyed. The cyclone has compounded existing challenges in Cabo Delgado, where the health system had already been severely weakened by the ongoing conflict.
