USAID gives US $450,000 to flood victims

    JOHANNESBURG

    The US Agency for International Development (USAID) says that it is to give US $450,000 to assist flood victims in Mozambique.

    "We are looking into what else we can do to relieve the suffering of those whose lives have been impacted so greatly," USAID administrator, J. Brady Anderson said at the National Summit on Africa in Washington. USAID is the US government agency responsible for worldwide distribution of humanitarian
    and development assistance.

    The Mozambique government said earlier this week that it estimated that it would need about US $15 million to fully rehabilitate flood-stricken areas. It said that US $2.7 million was needed for the initial emergency response.
