Red Cross volunteers in Xai-Xai, Mozambique, are threatening to close the provincial delegation following a strike caused by seven months of unpaid subsidies. These subsidies are linked to assistance provided during recent flooding events. The volunteers accuse the institution’s leadership of arrogance and a lack of willingness to engage in dialogue to resolve the payment issues. The potential closure would severely impact ongoing humanitarian efforts in the region. This dispute highlights challenges in delivering aid effectively when funding and administrative support are lacking. The volunteers are seeking immediate action to address the outstanding payments and improve communication with leadership. The situation raises concerns about the sustainability of Red Cross operations in the province.
