Morocco reaches out to flood victims in Mozambique

    JOHANNESBURG

    Morocco has donated US $150,000 for the victims of the recent flooding in central Mozambique, PANA said on Wednesday. Handing over the money to Mozambique’s Disaster Management Institute (INGC) in Maputo on Monday, Moroccan Ambassador Abdellatif Nacif said the gesture was a mark of his country’s solidarity with the Mozambican people. “It should at the same time strengthen our relations of friendship and cooperation,” Nacif said. He said that because Morocco had “vast experience” in natural disaster management, the two countries would do well to work together in the domain.

    Meanwhile, United States ambassador to Mozambique, Sharon Wilkinson, delivered a consignment of health equipment valued at US $240,000 to the Manica health centre, 75 km north of Maputo, reports said. Wilkinson said the US would soon repeat the gesture to Boane and Boquisso health centres in Maputo province. “The donation in Manica is part of four humanitarian aid projects which started last year,” said Wilkinson.
