First cyclone, then slavery: risks abound for Mozambique children via SABCNewsOnline

Evacuees from Buzi vilage carry their belongings as they arrive at a displacement center after Cyclone Idai, in Beira, Mozambique.

With the U.N. estimating up to a million children affected in Mozambique alone, aid workers are particularly concerned about orphaned children and those separated from their families who are fending for themselves almost two weeks on. Goverde said that one mother he met had lost three children,swept away in flood waters, while other colleagues had come across children who had seen their parents die.

About 350 people registered on the website – either looking for missing relatives or marking themselves as safe. About 24 children are registered as missing, with teams on the ground collecting more names of the lost and missing.
