Cyclone idai and the humanitarian aid challenges in mozambique

Abstract

On the night of the 14th to 15th of March 2019, the central region of Mozambique, in particular the city of Beira and surrounding regions, was devastated by a cyclone named Idai, causing a situation of natural calamity and humanitarian aid. This article aims to analyze the extent to which the Mozambican government has been able to coordinate actions and guarantee the protection of the human rights of those affected and, at the same time, to guard against the challenges inherent in aid, especially internal interference. The work methodology was deductive, based on the qualitative method and the case study of the referred phenomenon. The sources consulted refer to the official post-Idai disaster reports and analysis of the specialized literature, namely books and scientific articles.
