On 15th March 2019, deadly cyclone Idai tore through Mozambique. More than 1,000 people have been killed and thousands injured. The huge storm has destroyed vital infrastructure and widespread flooding has displaced more than 100,000 people from their homes. People with disabilities, older and vulnerable people, particularly in rural areas, are completely isolated from humanitarian assistance and are at risk of being overlooked - we must ensure they can access aid.

Humanity & Inclusion's emergency experts are already on the ground working to respond to the disaster. We aim to ensure that disabled, older and vulnerable people have access to essential emergency aid that that meets their specific needs. Following an evaluation, our teams are preparing to provide aid and basic needs items to families who have lost everything. We are also planning to provide logistics support to facilitate the rapid response of all humanitarian organisations.
