IOM also closely cooperates with the Ministry of Interior (MINT) and the National Service on Migration (SENAMI). Strong winds and floods caused flooding, ruined crops and destroyed infrastructure. Tropical Cyclone Eloise reached the coast of Mozambique on 23 January, with winds of around 140km/h and gusts of up to 160km/h (category 2 tropical cyclone equivalent). The storm caused widespread damage and flooding, which disrupted businesses and the flow of goods and services. Tropical Cyclone Eloise has negatively affected recovery efforts from the previous storms and has left over 260,000 people in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Augusto Rafael Alvaro, a teacher from the area of Chire, is an active participant in the consultative council in his area. Mozambique is one of the most risk-prone countries in the world when it comes to weather-related hazards and the impact of climate change including floods, droughts, cyclones, coastal erosion, rising water levels, and soil salinisation,which are becoming increasingly stronger and more frequent (INFORM Risk index 2021). Products will be adapted to provide relevant and up-to-date information for different scenarios and geographic coverage. dire living conditions of affected populations and generated pressing humanitarian needs. At Climate Home News, we believe journalism can make a difference. Mozambique is prone to cyclones and tropical storms which can lead to flash flooding, hundreds of deaths, and massive destruction of property and crops. IOM staff assessing areas affected by Tropical Cyclone Eloise. But it acknowledged that given the countrys limited fiscal space and high public debt additional external support, preferably in the form of grants and highly concessional loans, is also urgently required. For theresponse to Cyclone Idai and Kenneth, IOMhas been leading the coordination of service provision by humanitarian actors to displaced populations within communal settings and providing support to over 800,000 people in the most affected host communities. Through its integrated approach targeting priority displacement sites and areas receiving new arrivals,the multi-sector approach will include protection, medical and MHPSS supportto respond to the needs of affected households and the most vulnerable individuals. In the design, implementation and monitoring of its interventions,IOM also ensures robust coordination and engagement with communities at the local, district and provincial levels. Cyclones had ripped the roof off the village school. The death toll could have been higher, but Cyclone Kenneth largely ran aground in thinly populated areas between Mozambique and Tanzania. Ialwaystake part. IOM has been able to continue programming, including support to the government to respond to COVID-19 while adhering to COVID-19 regulations and addressing new needs in its other programming. PDF Situation Overview In 2016, IOM adopted theProgressive Resolution of Displacement Situations (PRDS) Frameworkwhich aims to guide IOM and inform its partners to frame and navigate the complexity of forced migration dynamics and support efforts to progressively resolve displacement situations. In addition,the well-being of mobile populations and socio-economic impacts, such as the loss of employment opportunities, loss of remittances as well as mobility restrictions and displacement and insecurity contexts, have largely compounded pre-existing vulnerabilities of migrants, including migrants workers, as well as displaced populations, within and across borders. Eloise is expected to become a very dangerous cyclone with impacts that can be felt at a distance from the centre. Eloise struck areas that have been devastated by previous cyclones, including Cyclone Idai.

The storm made landfall in Mozambique on January 23, 2021, damaging infrastructure and leaving a trail of destruction behind. The Central Region, while still attempting to rebuild community cohesion after decades of conflict and violence, was hit by Cyclone Idai in March 2019 causing mass destruction and displacement,having left a remaining 16,982displaced households still in search for durable solutions close to twoyears after the disaster (DTM Round 17, November 2020). Nearly two years after it was hit by devastating cyclones, debt-ridden Mozambique's recovery effort is backsliding as it is battered by another powerful tropical storm. IOM aimsto continue to be a key partner of the Government of Mozambique in supporting displaced persons and other affected populations in building resilience and progress towards sustainable solutions to displacement while ensuring a continuous response to critical humanitarian needs and rapid response capacities in case of a new disaster and crisis. Community stabilization seeks to support governments, states and communities undergoing significant socioeconomic and political changes during and following a crisis, in order to (re)establish stability and security, prevent further forced migration, restore trust among community members, vulnerable populations and local authorities and lay the foundations for durable solutions, lasting peace and sustainable development. "These storms", said Mr, Guterres, "were emergencies on top of emergencies." against the backdrop of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as to prevent waterborne diseases; Distribution of hygiene kits (inclusive of menstrual hygiene managementitems). Although the need for essential life-saving assistance remains widespread, IOM recognizes the urgent need for recovery and stabilization interventions. At least 18,000 people have been internally displaced and the number of affected people continues to rise amid ongoing floods. These programmatic responses focus on understanding the root causesand addressing the social, economic, resource or political dynamics that drive insecurity and tension. The insecurity continues to expand in scale, scope and complexity, pointing to potential further deterioration and continuous additional displacement in 2021. In both the cases of Eloise and Idai, flooding had impacts not just on Mozambique but on neighbouring countries - Zimbababwe, Malawi and parts of South Africa. Slow disbursement of international funds following the 2019 cyclones is partly responsible for the ongoing recovery effort, Kandaya said.

This is particularly important. It affected. The technical storage or access that is used exclusively for statistical purposes. In response, the Ministry of Land and Environment (MITA) and Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) have launched the Building Local Climate Resilience programme in Mozambique (MERCIM) in a strategic partnership with the European Union, the Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation (ACCD), with technical assistance by the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF). Despite this intermittent violence, the Demobilization, Disarmament, and Reintegration (DDR) exercise as stipulated by the August Peace Accord has proceeded, targeting over 5,000 former combatants. Mozambique is regularly hit by the impacts of tropical cyclones, and flooding often poses a greater risk than the winds, WMO said. A National Accord for Peace and Reconciliation was signed in August 2019 but was followed by sporadic outbreaks of violence by a self-entitled Military Junta. The participation of the community is extremely important because it is this community that suffers the effects of these climatic changes. Mozambique faces the interlinked impact of a triple crisis, facing a combination ofconflict anddisasters further compounded by public health risks such as COVID-19. Since suffering the back-to-back shocks of Idai and Kenneth, Mozambique has been hit by other destructive storms, including Chalane in December 2020, followed by Tropical Cyclone Eloise just two months ago, which caused widespread damage and affected some 176,000 people. Cyclones and other extreme weather events have sent strong messages to its government and citizens that they need to be better prepared for climate-driven disasters. Products will be adapted to provide relevant and up-to-date information for different scenarios and geographic coverage. Effects of cyclones on the tourism economy also persist for a second and third month, as shown by the statistically significant one- (at the 1% level) and two-month (at the 10% level) lag indicators, which suggests average impacts of $12.2 million and $6.9 million in the two months following a tropical cyclone. But now, they can go at any time, even with rain, they go to school, he explained. The landfall of Tropical Cyclone Eloise in the night of 23 January 2021 and previously, the Tropical Storm Chalane on 30 December 2020, have deeply affected Sofala, in particular Buzi area, Manica, the southern part of Zambezia, Inhambane, and Gaza provinces.
