Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
In Gaza Province, Mozambique, Save the Children delivered emergency cash transfers to 40 households in Chókwè after severe flooding damaged homes and crops.
The floods, the worst in over two decades, left over 720,000 people across Mozambique affected this year and disrupted agricultural livelihoods. The organization, supported by the OCHA-managed Mozambique Humanitarian Fund, provided each household with 7,500 meticais (US$116) to allow families to address their most pressing needs.
Families plan to use the money to repair homes, purchase seeds for replanting, and secure essential items. Aid workers noted that providing cash directly to people allows them to make informed decisions about their recovery, restoring dignity and flexibility. Across Gaza Province, the Mozambique Humanitarian Fund has reached more than 65,000 people with assistance. The funding enables communities to move beyond simply surviving and begin rebuilding their futures after months of uncertainty.
