The village was severely affected by the El Niño-induced drought which began in March Mothers and children wait in Changanine community, Chibuto District to collect their seeds from the Red Cross. (Photo: IFRC/ Aurélie Marrier d Unienville) IFRC: Thirteen people from the village of Chicongole in Mozambique had died due to prolonged drought, which also forced children out of school in search of food. Two years of failed rains have destroyed crops, killed livestock, dried up wells and left villagers struggling to survive. Children eat Tivha, a charred root, at Chichongole village in Mozambique.

WFP: People in Zvishavane village in Midlands province, which is one of the worst affected by El Niño-related drought, can now use the WFP s smart card to purchase food and other basic needs. The card uses cash transfer technology that works like a debit card of a local supermarket chain. Bester Sikwira, 64, holds the smart card after purchasing food.
