[76] According to more preliminary data released by INGD on 28 January, the number of people affected still continued to rise as teams continued to survey damage, with the number standing at 314,369; a significant increase was reported in Buzi District. Early on 23 January, Eloise strengthened further and peaked as a Category2-equivalent tropical cyclone, with 10-minute sustained winds of 150km/h (90mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 165km/h (105mph), and a minimum central pressure of 967 millibars (28.6inHg), as the storm's eyewall began moving ashore. Over 8,700 people were living in 16 temporary shelters in the port of Beira, due to Eloise's damages. endstream

UNICEF teams are fully focused on protecting the tens of thousands of children impacted by this tropical storm and the devastating flooding it is causing, said Maria Luisa Fornara, the UNICEF representative in Mozambique. [39] Widespread flooding, and water-related damage to infrastructure was expected. Cholera, a disease which has impacted Africa for many decades, was a risk for those sheltering. 18,000 people have been internally displaced, strongest storm to make landfall on the African continent. And climate change is likely to continue to heighten the probability of higher intensity tropical storms, she added. [5] Psychosocial support were also of high importance. 0000007613 00000 n
The Province of Manica, more specifically Sussudenga district, reported severe damages after the tropical cyclone, as well as the southern part of Zambezia Province. They have activated contingency plans, to assist Gauteng and other surrounding provinces. Tropical Cyclone Eloise reached the coast of Mozambique on 23 January, with winds of around 140km/h and gusts of up to 160km/h (category 2 tropical cyclone equivalent).

Tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Mozambique Channel from January to March 2012 resulted in five landfalls that affected Madagascar and southeastern Africa.

[13] Initially, Eloise struggled to strengthen further from the presence of strong easterly shear and dry air, which caused Eloise's thunderstorm activity to be displaced to the west. [60] At least 8,000 people were said to be displaced at the time. From 9 January until 23 January when Eloise made landfall in Mozambique, the provinces of Inhambane, Manica, Niassa, Sofala, Tete, and Zambezia received heavy rains (IFRC 22/01/2021). At least 579 classrooms and 86 health centres will need repairs (DTM, INGD 31/01/2021; Protection Cluster 31/01/2021; OCHA 29/01/2021). Many people who were displaced by the storms nearly two years ago are still living in makeshift camps on the outskirts of Beira, he added. For Mozambique, high alerts were put in place for central portions of the country. [27], Ahead of landfall, humanitarians and authorities in Madagascar coordinated preparedness activities. Aerial assessments using photo and geo-tracking system were also planned for the impact of the storm. In Masvingo Province, damages to roads have hampered access to almost 170 people waiting to be evacuated in Ward 34 of Village 21. %PDF-1.7

(PDF) The Short-Term Economic Impact of Tropical Cyclones: Satellite Early action saves lives, as Tropical Cyclone Freddy hits Mozambique This takes time and expertise. [7], Flooding occurred in Zimbabwe, damaging homes and property. [45], In Eswatini, the National Disaster Management Agency (NDMA) determined that northern and eastern part of the country might be vulnerable to Cyclone Eloise, with high altitude areas of high focus. Our mission is to produce original reporting that informs, engages and inspires action. Jennifer Fitchett, from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, told Climate Home that the South Indian Ocean had seen an increase in high intensity storms a trend, she said, linked to climate change. [51] In Botswana, the government's Meteorological Services issued a warning for heavy rains, strong winds, and localized flooding on 24 January. Teams were sent out to assess the damage and repair it. [17], On 20 January, Eloise emerged into the Mozambique Channel, where Eloise began to slowly reintensify, with warm waters, a moist environment, little shear, but weak upper-level divergence contributing to the storm's slow strengthening trend. 0000093267 00000 n
Cyclone Freddy is exceptional because of the long distance it has travelled and its longevity, developing on 6 February off the coast northwest of Australia and affected island nations, including Mauritius and La Runion, during its long journey across the entire South Indian Ocean. [57] Furthermore, the rainfall affected 100,000 in Beira resettlement sites, which had been impacted by Cyclone Idai a year ago and Tropical Storm Chalane only a couple weeks before. The landfall of Tropical Cyclone Eloise in the night of 23 January 2021 and previously, the Tropical Storm Chalane on 30 December 2020, have deeply affected Sofala, in particular Buzi area, Manica, the southern part of Zambezia, Inhambane, and Gaza provinces. https://t.co/XVszqhVx5U

After moving southwestward across the Mozambique Channel for an additional 2 days, Eloise strengthened into a Category 1-equivalent cyclone, due to low wind shear and high sea surface temperatures.

Shortly afterward, Eloise made landfall just north of Beira, Mozambique, before rapidly weakening. The districts hit hardest by the heavy rains were Beira (neighbourhoods Mungassa and Ndunda I e II), Buzi, Muanza, Caia, Dondo, Marromeu, and Nhamatanda. [35] Government officials have placed the Inhanombe and Mutamba in southern Mozambique and Buzi and Pungoe basins in central Mozambique on high alert. Out of the total number of people affected, by 1 February, 34,271 displaced people were initially hosted in 36 temporary accommodation centres due to the conditions in their areas of origin, after both Chalane and Eloise storms.
Property damaged as Cyclone Eloise hits Mozambique's Beira UN agencies delivered a host of supplies ahead of the approaching cyclone and are providing assistance to those in need. [60] Prior to landfall, 4,000 households were affected by floods in Buzi, with another 266 in Nhamatanda, and 326 in Beira. 0000022662 00000 n
[47] The Royal Eswatini Police Service urged motorists to be cautious, and to abide by an 8 PM to 4 AM curfew.

economic impact of eloise in mozambique - Flix Houphout-Boigny This is the second tropical storm to hit central Mozambique in less than a month, after tropical storm Chalane made landfall in December. Since cyclone Eloise made landfall, a big part of the city is still under water without electricity, he said, adding that in the poorest quarters of the city, there is no clean water. These will persist until 25 January. Although the resettlement sites established in the aftermath of Cyclone Idai in 2019 were not flooded and proved to be safe locations, Cyclone Eloise affected the shelter and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) structures in many sites due to strong winds and rains. Mozambique is regularly hit by the impacts of tropical cyclones, and flooding often poses a greater risk than the winds, WMO said. 0000110378 00000 n
Slow disbursement of international funds following the 2019 cyclones is partly responsible for the ongoing recovery effort, Kandaya said. Cyclone Freddy makes landfall in Vilanculos, in the province of Inhambane in Mozambique. [2] Some humanitarian facilities were damaged. These spread to western and central Free State. In Harare, Zimbabwe's capital, 34 families were evacuated to two high schools in Budiriro, and were in need of emergency supplies. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that the Mozambique Council of Ministers declared on Tuesday a red alert enabling expedited and simplified response operations. [44] Mudslides also occurred in Manicaland, Mashonaland East, Mashonaland Central, Matabeleland South and Masvingo provinces. 0000036730 00000 n
People in shelters are in need of food and hygiene kits, as well as COVID-19 protection. Climate projections in the region point to an increase in the intensity of heavy rainfall across the country. This was worsened after Eloise made landfall. They also said that the Buzi district had good soil, and that people could set up farms in the district, and return to Guara Guara during the rainy season in March. Of these, 6,790 are located in Sofala, 1,695 in Manica, and 270 in Zambezia provinces.

Dams were brought to a tipping point, which raised concerns that they may worsen the flooding even more for the affected areas. Despite sustained land interaction, Eloise strengthened, with improving poleward outflow and tightly wrapped banding features wrapping into an small eye.
