The World Health Organization (WHO) has issued an urgent appeal for $21.5 million to support health interventions for those affected by recent flooding in Mozambique. The funds, requested through the Health Cluster, will be used to address immediate and long-term health needs arising from the disaster. Mozambique has been grappling with significant flooding, leading to displacement and increased vulnerability to waterborne diseases and other health risks. The WHO’s response focuses on providing essential medicines, medical supplies, and technical support to local health authorities. Specifically, the aid aims to prevent outbreaks of cholera, malaria, and other communicable diseases. The organization is prioritizing the restoration of health facilities and ensuring access to healthcare services for the impacted population. This funding request underscores the scale of the health challenges posed by the ongoing crisis in Mozambique.
