Angola has launched a major humanitarian mission, delivering 20 tonnes of emergency supplies to Mozambique as catastrophic flooding displaces thousands. The aid package—loaded with medicines, food, tents, and clothing—arrived via Angolan Air Force aircraft this week, with 55 more tonnes en route starting Wednesday.
🇦🇴 'This is solidarity in action,' said Angola's Secretary of State for Health Pinto de Souza, emphasizing their commitment to stand 'hand in hand' with Mozambique. The floods, described as potentially the worst since Mozambique's independence, have already claimed 14 lives and submerged over 155,000 homes.
🇲🇿 Mozambique's Secretary of State for the Economy António Grispos called the aid 'a lifeline' for communities who 'need everything right now.' The crisis has drawn global attention, with the EU, U.S., and Japan also providing emergency support.
🌧️ With rains continuing, this cross-border collaboration highlights how African nations are leading disaster response efforts in 2026. Stay tuned for updates as relief operations scale up.
