Zimbabwe has handed over humanitarian aid to flood-affected Malawi, reinforcing regional solidarity as communities across the country continue to recover from devastating floods that displaced thousands and damaged critical infrastructure.
The handover ceremony took place at Munhumutapa Building and was officiated by Acting President and Vice President Colonel Mohadi under the Zimbabwe International Aid and Development programme.
The assistance includes 1,000 tonnes of grain, with transportation support from the Transporters Association of Zimbabwe, alongside additional donations of food, blankets, clothing, tents and medical supplies from the private sector, civil society and individuals.
Vice President Mohadi said Zimbabwe’s response was guided by regional solidarity and shared responsibility, noting that the country stands with Malawi as neighbours, partners and family at a time when the floods have worsened an already fragile humanitarian situation marked by food insecurity.
