<p>The Secretary of State and I have both written to the Minister of Foreign Affairs
in Mozambique expressing our condolences and offering our full support. I also spoke
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs on 28<sup>th</sup> March, where we discussed needs
and I emphasised our continued support. Mozambique has been hardest-hit by Cyclone
Idai and the number of displaced people continues to rise, with 136,000 people being
sheltered in accommodation centres.</p><p> </p><p>The UK was amongst the first to
respond and is the largest donor – allocating £22 million for the three countries
affected. UK aid is supporting the delivery of essential relief supplies, including
thousands of shelter kits, water filters, and family tents. We continue to monitor
the situation closely and stand ready to provide further support if needed.</p>
