Cyclone Jude made landfall in Mozambique on Monday, bringing powerful winds and heavy rainfall that caused widespread destruction.
This marks the third cyclone to strike the country in just four months, with significant flooding expected, particularly in the Zambezia and Nampula regions.
UNICEF’s Chief of Advocacy, Communications, and Partnerships in Mozambique, Guy Taylor, has been outlining the serious risks to children in affected areas, which are densely populated and face a heightened threat of waterborne diseases.
Speaking to UN News’s Felipe de Carvalho, Mr. Taylor outlined the ongoing emergency response efforts and the lifesaving aid being provided on the ground.
