The UNICEF Mozambique ‘Children & Youth in Mozambique’ factsheet is live! An easy-to-use summary of key facts and figures on the situation of children in Mozambique, which we will update regularly with the latest stats. lnkd.in/dNTwkVDT

An exciting opportunity to address Mozambique’s parliament today, and to advocate with parliamentarians for accelerated action to protect and promote the rights of children in a country where more than half the population is under 18.

First drone footage of #CycloneJude impact shows devastation from winds & widespread flooding in #Mozambique’s #Nampula province. This is the *third* cyclone of the current season - a large scale response will be needed to support the 100s of thousands of people being impacted.

#CycloneJude hitting #Mozambique now, threatening destruction across Nampula & Zambezia. Around 1m people at risk, with 1200 schools and 120 health care facilities likely to be put out of action. UNICEF is on the ground, ready to respond, but needs will likely exceed capacity.

Another cyclone making its way towards #Mozambique, predicted to hit Nampula on Sunday evening. This is the third of the season... @unicef.org is preparing to respond and is deploying staff and supplies to ensure we can quickly provide support to affected children and families.

Another 2 cyclone systems in the Indian Ocean / #Mozambique channel. Not projected to hit Mozambique (Madagascar seemingly at greater risk) but clearly shows the elevated risk of climate shocks in this region - Mozambique already having been hit hard by Cyclones #Chido & #Dikeledi this season.

#CycloneChido has made landfall near Pemba, in northern #Mozambique’s #CaboDelgado province. @unicef.org is very concerned about immediate and longer term impacts on an already very vulnerable population. We are on the ground, working with partners and government to respond.

Heading to Pemba, #CaboDelgado ahead of arrival of #CycloneChido, now forecast to make landfall tomorrow as an intense tropical cyclone, potentially similar in magnitude to 2023 Cyclone Freddy. #Mozambique #Chido

Cyclone #Chido now forecast to hit #Pemba, provincial capital of #CaboDelgado, as an intense tropical cyclone. with winds potentially exceeding 200km/h. Really the last thing Cabo Delgado needs, on top of multiple other challenges. UNICEF preparing to respond.

Tropical cyclone #Chido appearing to pick up speed as it heads past coast of Madagascar and on to #Mozambique. Impact in Nampula province, where almost 4/5 households don't have access to sanitation & over 1/2 don't have access to safe water, would have major negative consequences.

Electrifying atmosphere as thousands of children from across Southern Africa coming together in Zimbabwe today to commemorate #WorldChildrensDay and demand their right to quality education.
