Following the destruction left behind by Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, a REACH assessment team was deployed to the affected areas to gather information on the community needs of the population, shaping the humanitarian response on the ground.
The wind and rain had gone on for days, and they kept rising. By the 14th of March, winds had reached a speed of 195 kilometres per hour. The eye of the storm turned inland and over the coastal city of Beira. A city home to half a million people. This is the story of Cyclone Idai and REACH’s response to it.
Following cyclone Idai and its devastating impact on Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi, REACH has been deployed to Beira to support in the humanitarian response.
