Mozambique President Allocates $3.4m for Reconstruction

Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi has announced the allocation of close to $3.4m for reconstruction in the aftermath of Cyclone Freddy.

Nyusi, who visited the areas severely affected by the cyclone in the country’s central province of Zambezia, said the amount would be spent on rebuilding schools and destroyed infrastructure.

The president extended the terms of a commission mandated to work on national recovery after extreme weather conditions.

The cyclone made landfall over the weekend for the second time in a month, and the country has received more than a year’s worth of rainfall in the past four weeks.
