Nearly 2 Million Cyclone Survivors in Mozambique at Risk of Severe Food
Shortages

Lisa Schlein

   GENEVA - The World Food Program warns 1.9 million Mozambicans battered
   by two devastating cyclones earlier this year are at risk of severe
   food shortages without urgent international assistance.

   Hundreds of people were killed, tens of thousands made homeless and
   livelihoods lost when Cyclones Idai and Kenneth hit Mozambique with
   devastating force in March and April. The destructive power of the two
   storms has wreaked havoc on the country's infrastructure and
   agriculture.

   Many crops that were about to be harvested and farm infrastructure were
   destroyed. The impact of these two disasters lingers on, threatening
   widespread hunger among survivors of these twin disasters.
