A group of companies and civil society organizations in Sofala province is mobilizing resources to support victims of the floods affecting several regions of the country. The assistance is being channeled primarily to the district of Búzi, located in Sofala province, one of the areas most severely hit by the flooding, the newspaper O País reported.
In a context where thousands of families have lost their belongings and means of livelihood, the private sector and various social organizations have decided to join forces to respond to the most urgent needs of populations affected by the floods in the province.
The solidarity initiative’s main objective is to provide immediate support to displaced families, particularly in the areas of food, shelter, and basic assistance. It represents a joint response aimed at easing the suffering caused by the floods and strengthening humanitarian response capacity on the ground.
In the same vein, Cornelder de Moçambique, the port terminal concessionaire responsible for the management and operation of port infrastructure, and the Rotary Club—an international humanitarian service organization made up of volunteer professionals involved in social and community projects—announced support through the provision of supplies, joining ongoing efforts to mitigate the impact of flooding on affected communities across different parts of the country.
In Sofala province, the district of Búzi continues to rank among the most critical areas, with many families forced to abandon their places of origin. Many have left behind homes, household goods, agricultural crops, as well as public and private infrastructure destroyed by the force of the waters. In response to this situation, Sofala Province Governor Lourenço Bulha assured that the provincial government will continue to make efforts to support affected families, despite some already leaving accommodation centers.
Provincial authorities are calling for continued solidarity at a time when the effects of the floods continue to deepen the vulnerability of affected communities and place additional pressure on humanitarian assistance responses throughout the province.
