UN grants Mozambique and Comoros Islands $13M in emergency funds for Cyclone Kenneth devastation
The United Nations will grant Mozambique and the Comoros Islands $13 million in emergency funds to help provide food and water and repair damage to infrastructure, the organisation said late on Sunday, after the second cyclone in a month slammed into the region.
Cyclone Kenneth crashed into the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado late on Thursday, flattening entire villages with winds of up to 280 km/h, killing five people and unleashing heavy rains and flooding that has seen rivers burst their banks.
