"They are vulnerable families made up of elderly people, orphans and disabled people who are suffering from the food deficit," said Jaime Mugabe, quoted today by the public body Rádio Moçambique (RM).
According to the administrator, the insecurity is the result of the "failure" in the current agricultural season, due to the El Niño climate phenomenon.
In response, the National Institute of Social Action (INAS) is carrying out food distribution campaigns for the affected families.
"The beneficiaries will receive a basic food basket composed of rice, corn flour, beans, cooking oil and salt, for a period of three months," he explained.
At the end of September, the President of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, appealed to the population and entities to prepare for the foreseeable effects of the El Niño phenomenon in the country in the following months, with forecasts of above-normal rainfall and pockets of drought.
Mozambique is considered one of the countries most severely affected by global climate change, facing cyclical floods and tropical cyclones during the rainy season, which runs from October to April.
El Niño is an alteration of atmospheric dynamics caused by an increase in ocean temperature. This meteorological phenomenon is also causing torrential rains in East Africa, which have already caused hundreds of deaths in Kenya, Burundi, Tanzania, Somalia and Ethiopia.
