Thousands of children in these countries, who were already reeling from food insecurity and learning gap, are the worst sufferers. In Mozambique 10,000 homes have been washed away and 137 school buildings have been damaged, affecting the education of 27,300 children.

Tropical storm Ana is a “blunt reminder” of the climate crisis that the world is staring at, according to UNICEF, which is leading the relief operation. The agency will need $3.5 million (over Rs 26 crore) as emergency funds, it estimated. Photo: Chikwawa district, Malawi by UNICEF.

The situation is the most critical in Mozambique with another storm brewing over the Indian Ocean. Up to six tropical cyclones are expected before the rainy season ends in March, according to AFP. From 2016 to 2021, the country has faced two severe droughts and eight tropical storms, the United Nations noted.
