OCHA's latest situation report on Mozambique noted that the UN Resident Coordinator's Office compiled and submitted the Final Flood Report that captures major challenges faced and activities carried out by civil society in Mozambique, during the flood emergency.
The report said that the focus has shifted from the emergency relief operations towards resettlement and more rehabilitation/development activities. A flood reconstruction conference would be convened by the government of Mozambique on 12 and 13 July in Maputo, the report noted. The conference aims to bridge flood relief operations with longer-term development and macro-economic prospects. The report is available on the OCHA Internet Website http://www.reliefweb.int.
US $27 million needed for central flood victims
Meanwhile it was reported in the 'Noticias' newspaper on Wednesday that at least US $27 million was needed to resettle 85,000 flood victims who have been sheltered in government-run accommodation centers in central Mozambique. The resettlement programme includes water supply infrastructures, sanitation systems, roads, health units and schools, according to Orlando Francisco, Zambezia Provincial delegate of the country's relief agency, the National Disasters Management Institute (INGC).
