Mozambique’s National Institute for Disaster Management (INGD) estimates 1.75 million people to be affected by recent floods and subsequent landfall of the tropical storm Freddy across central and southern Mozambique. Making landfall on 24 February 2023, Tropical Storm Freddy has impacted the provinces of Gaza, Inhambane, Manica, Sofala and Zambezia. As of 25 February 2023, available reports indicate 2,219 individuals (630 families) have taken shelter in 7 accommodation centres (ACs) across Sofala, 420 individuals (149 families) in 8 ACs across Inhambane and 5,581 individuals (1,269 families) in 8 ACs in Gaza. The majority of these centres are schools and churches. Reported priority needs include WASH, protection, health, food, emergency shelters and education. As rain and flood conditions develop, ongoing joint assessments with INGD and humanitarian partners monitor the needs and conditions of affected populations in the region.
