<p>The Secretary of State and I have both written to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
and International Trade in Zimbabwe expressing our condolences and offering our full
support. The UK was amongst the first to respond and is the largest donor – allocating
£22 million to the response across the three countries affected. While the impact
of Cyclone Idai has not been as severe in Zimbabwe as in Mozambique, the situation
remains serious and 4,500 people have been displaced. In Zimbabwe, UK aid is providing
support for health, child protection, and water, sanitation, and hygiene in the worst-affected
areas. DFID is also supporting the provision of emergency latrines and sanitation
equipment. We continue to monitor the situation closely and stand ready to provide
further support if needed.</p>
