Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to provide support to Mozambique following flooding caused by Cyclone Idai; and if so, what support will be provided.

The UK is the largest donor to the Cyclone Idai response, having committed up to £22 million of additional UK support to the people affected by the devastating floods in Southern Africa. UK aid is supporting the World Food Programme to feed 400,000 people in Mozambique for two weeks by distributing emergency food and food vouchers for people to use at local markets. We have sent life-saving relief supplies: tents and thousands of shelter kits that have now landed in Mozambique. We continue to monitor the situation closely, and the UK stands ready to provide further support if needed.
