Malawi
Relief efforts are ongoing in Malawi three months after Tropical Cyclone Freddy.
We and our partners from non-governmental organizations – in support of the Government-led response – have helped more than 620,000 people by providing clean water, food and emergency shelter, among other assistance.
We also have some positive news to share: the cholera outbreak is finally slowing down, thanks to the continued work of the national and international community. The UN and our partners provided more than one million people with access to clean water, appropriate sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies.
We will need to sustain these efforts, especially with the upcoming lean season. Our US$116 million flash appeal for Malawi is 25 per cent funded.
