The longest ever recorded cyclone, Tropical Cyclone Freddy has hit Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi affecting over 500,000 people in the region.
Torrential rains, strong winds and storm surges have caused floods, landslides and widespread destruction in the three countries, killing over 500 people so far and displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
The cyclone is starting to dissipate but the affected communities are facing critical humanitarian needs such as shelter, food, water, access to toilets, and sanitation.
Please donate £50 now so we can reach those in urgent need.
