Humanitarian Response to Cyclone Freddy – UNICEF 2023
FY 2023-24 · 2023-05-09
Summary
April 2023 - Tropical Cyclone Freddy made landfall in southern Africa in February and March, bringing heavy rains, flooding, and landslides to Mozambique and Malawi. Altogether, it is estimated that more than 3.3 million people in these countries had been affected by Freddy, including more than 700 dead and nearly 850,000 displaced from their homes. The risk of water-borne disease is a key concern given the flooding and ongoing cholera outbreaks.
With GAC’s support, UNICEF addresses the water, sanitation and hygiene, health and nutrition, and protection needs of cyclone-affected people in both Mozambique and Malawi. Project activities include: (1) restoring damaged water and sanitation facilities and distributing essential hygiene supplies; (2) providing access to emergency healthcare services and medical supplies; (3) screening for and treating acute malnutrition; and (4) providing protection services and psychosocial support for at-risk children.

Description (French)
Avril 2023 – Le cyclone tropical Freddy a touché terre en Afrique australe en février et mars, provoquant de fortes pluies, des inondations et des glissements de terrain au Malawi et au Mozambique. Freddy a touché environ 3,3 millions de personnes dans ces pays et fait plus de 700 morts et près de 850 000 personnes déplacées. Le risque de maladies transmises par l’eau est une importante source de préoccupation, compte tenu des inondations et des épidémies de choléra en cours.
Avec le soutien d’AMC, l’UNICEF répond aux besoins en eau, en assainissement et en hygiène, en santé et en nutrition, ainsi qu’aux besoins de protection des personnes touchées par le cyclone au Malawi et au Mozambique. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) la restauration des installations d’eau et d’assainissement endommagées et la distribution de produits d’hygiène essentiels; 2) l’accès aux services de santé d’urgence et aux fournitures médicales; 3) le dépistage et le traitement de la malnutrition aiguë; 4) la prestation de services de protection et de soutien psychosocial aux enfants à risque.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved access to safe water and sanitation; (2) improved access to emergency health care; (3) reduced rates of acute malnutrition; and (4) improved access to protection services for vulnerable children amongst cyclone-affected populations in Malawi and Mozambique.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) un meilleur accès à l’eau potable et à l’assainissement; 2) un meilleur accès aux soins de santé d’urgence; 3) un moindre taux de malnutrition aiguë; 4) un meilleur accès aux services de protection pour les enfants vulnérables parmi les populations touchées par le cyclone au Malawi et au Mozambique.
En définitive, l’objectif est de sauver des vies, d’atténuer les souffrances et de préserver la dignité humaine dans les pays aux prises avec une crise humanitaire ou une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
