| Tzu Chi Aids African Countries Hit by Cyclone Idai | ||
In mid-March 2019, Cyclone Idai hit Africa, packing strong winds and torrential rains. It resulted in devastating damage. Described as one of the worst weather-related disasters on record to hit the southern hemisphere, the storm affected nearly three million people in the African nations of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, and Malawi. Mozambique declared a national state of emergency as it faced severe flooding in Idai’s wake. Tzu Chi volunteers from Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and South Africa jumped into action to render aid. Despite difficult road conditions, they arrived in disaster areas and delivered much-needed food and daily necessities to victims. The road to recovery is long. Volunteers will continue to help as victims work to get their lives back on track.
