Sporadic cases of cholera are still being reported in Maputo City and the southern provinces of Gaza and Manica but nowhere else in the country, the latest report by the government’s disaster relief authority INGC said.
From the beginning of the year to 24 July, 14,955 cases of cholera were
reported, with 215 deaths. The number of reported cases of malaria is likewise declining throughout the country.
Meanwhile, a shipment of 23,500 mt of wheat from the United States destined for the commercial sector is to be converted into a donation by USAID. But whether this is in the context of the emergency appeals or the Rome donor conference is not yet known, the INGC report said.
