Malawi Cholera and Floods Flash Appeal 2023

Cyclone Freddy, a powerful weather system, struck Malawi's southern region in March, resulting in widespread flooding and destruction. Over 15 districts have been affected, displacing more than half a million people and claiming the lives of over a thousand individuals, with hundreds still missing. The impact on agriculture has been severe, with significant loss of crops, livestock, and livelihoods.

Compounding this crisis is the deadly cholera outbreak, which has added to the already overwhelming challenges faced by the affected communities. Access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and healthcare services has become scarce, putting lives at risk and exacerbating the dire situation.

To address the urgent needs of those affected by Cyclone Freddy and the cholera outbreak, the international community, in collaboration with local authorities and humanitarian organizations, has launched the Cyclone Freddy and Cholera Flash Appeal. This appeal serves as a call to action, rallying support from individuals, organizations, and governments to contribute urgently needed funds and resources to mitigate the suffering and provide lifesaving assistance to the affected populations.

The flash appeal aims to mobilize immediate funding to provide emergency relief, including shelter, food, clean water, medical aid, and sanitation facilities. By responding swiftly and effectively, we can help save lives, prevent further loss, and support the affected communities in their recovery efforts.

We appeal to each and every one of you to stand in solidarity with the people of Malawi during this challenging time. Your support, whether through financial contributions, awareness-raising efforts, or volunteering, can make a significant difference in alleviating the suffering and helping these communities rebuild their lives.
