This dataset provides preliminary findings from six affected districts (Mongicual, Erati, Lalaua, Mecuburi, Nacala Porto, Memba) in Nampula and four affected districts (Majuni, Metarica, Nipepe, Maua) in Niassa provinces. Data collection is still ongoing in several districts, including those in Cabo Delgado. According to the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) of Mozambique, 8,624 households, comprising 46,631 individuals, have been impacted by the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Chido in these provinces.

As of 16 December 2024, INGD data indicates that 7,458 houses have been partially damaged, while 2,073 houses have been completely destroyed, totaling 9,531 damaged shelters in Nampula and Niassa provinces. Shelter and non-food items (NFIs) remain the most critical needs for the affected population across these provinces, where significant shelter destruction has occurred. Additional priority needs include agriculture and food security, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), and health services. With continued rainfall and the risk of flooding, joint needs assessments, led by INGD and humanitarian partners, are ongoing to evaluate the evolving needs and living conditions of affected populations.
